To have dreamed to have touched the everest
I merely yearn to have a drop of water
To keep my sanity alive
To walk through the thorn bushes
Barefooted
To go for the climb to reach the sky
To hold on to the hope kept alive:
A little flame long drained
Of all fuel to burn bright
To keep alive the reason oh my
The one reason that means a damn thing!
Revived and relived for decades
To reach up one last time!
To taste the sweet and sweaty piece of life
The moment that would make it worthwhile
To have walked through hell!
