Still you climb
Finding the next gap
To pull yourself up into
Finding the body strength
To lift up
And lift off
Sore hands not enough to stop you
Climbing, rising, finding a way to the Apex
Rocks may crumble around
That’s a warning
To be careful
But not to stop
Plot the path
Visualise the ascent
And keep it going
Making full use of mind, body, soul
But that’s what you are here for
Tap into your inner resources
Put tiredness to the side
And climb
Reach the top
Because that’s what you were meant to do
Don’t let anyone
Or anything
Stop you
