out on the rockface


out on the rockface
where life clings
>existing
olympus rumbles
you can't move
>paralysing 
you find refuge
in the comfort crests
>gilding
while zeuss thunders
and dares you leave
>frightening
those fears
that petrify the spirit
>freezing
that rupture the will
that collapse the mind
>melting
the dizzying heights
the desolate lows
>stumbling
the risks
the letting gos
>challenging
the soft landings
the bracing firs
>embolden
the grace
the wonder
>enlighten
the self
the purpose
>justify
beyond the ridges
beyond the static
>beckon
the brave
the love
>entwined

I've been on the rockface too long and want to get off. This poem, while encouraging, is quite scary. I love that about your writing. Those single words out on the ledge went right to my heart. Thank you for this.

side note - I love the two new songs.

who needs to climb rocks when there are mountains out there. but i won't make a mountain out of a molehill. thanks for your heart-felt comment.
