The Climb
Written for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT , topic: Image of stairs (I've been fighting myself to return to active writing, this photo brought to mind my hesitance and why)

Before me stands a cold gray stair
And I wonder in silence as I star
What lies above, hope or despair?

I long to see, and I know I must.
It may be fortune or I may go bust.
My legs are stiff like a thing of rust.

So, I turn my back and I walk away
Leaving these steps for another day...
