The Prelude To The Wall

The wall before me

Studded with stones

Of all shapes, sizes, and tones

The design, the colors, the textures,

An eclectic mix, they beckoned me.

Carefully, I tread

Even as I dread

Stuck at a height

With no help in sight

But trust the belay

Trust that things will turn out ok

This eclectic mix beckoned me.

A wall scaled is a triumph

It reminds one of life’s trials

Peppered with stones

You are indeed alone

Predetermine your route

Avoid pitfalls if you could

In any case, the eclectic mix beckoned me

Or start over again

There is so much to gain

Just take a step at a time

You will trip and fall sometimes

The thrill was going up and down and finally up

The eclectic mix beckoned me

Not by might nor by force

But a gentle leaning to the wall

Take a breath and be steadfast

You will get there soon, at last

Life is just like the climbing wall

Steadily, surely, give your all

The eclectic mix continues to beckon me.
