The View From the Top

The climb was jagged my hands are sore Each step a story carved into

the core Clouds whispered secrets the ground ignored But oh the air tastes different

here The view from the top it bends the sky The view from

below could never try Oh it’s wide it’s wild it’s burning bright

The view from the top feels like flight Shadows stretched long when I stood

down there Mountains were monsters too tall to dare Now they’re soft

as whispers they don’t compare To the fire that’s lighting everywhere Every scrape

every stumble was worth the pain Every tear fed the roots that broke the chain
