I look up and can envision my goal
I take one step, then another
up this stairway of ‘success’
worth every blood tear
behind me-defeat
lifting my head
taking stairs
upwards
Up

Wonder if climbing is always success… or just chasing clouds.

The ‘success’ is all in the climbing…may we never stop- lest we lose our enthusiasm .

They say it’s lonely at the top. I would never know on a stairway that high. Hope you reach for the sky

The fun is in the climbing….what would one do when you ‘arrive’? I’m certain I’m quite happy just climbing 🙂

Well you got there after all those steps. It may have taken me a little longer. You did the right thing by envisioning your goal, you get there quicker that way.

We do need a goal to keep us going but I agree the way up should be meaningful and embraced.

love the poem, and love the way the shape of the poem echoes the dwindling perspective of the stairs
