Where are you going, climbing higher
Barren peaks?

You look tired, heavy.
What do you want to do?
Lie down amidst flowers?
What is lower, what is higher?
All is effort.
Just stand tiredly.
Too worn to collapse for
Fear it will be permanent - and
In the wrong place.

But what other place?
Why not amidst flowers wonder.
A little lower, a little higher but
Away foolish ambitions.
Some effort, yes, but it is safe,
Known territory, rich in itself
Sometimes alone, but not always.
Oh, but to climb.
But not alone.
Where are you going ?
