Ascent

Nov. 16 2005

Though sad I have not lost the will
to climb up yet another hill
just to see what's going on today.

The morning light just now is bleak,
and hurt has left me feeling weak
but I know I won't always feel this way.

This may not be what I would seek,
but it's good to turn the other cheek.
The sun will warm me while becoming day.

For although my heart may still be sore,
this leads me into something more
and I will let the path show me the way.
