Steps

                                                                                                 You're here, you're done

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    ----------------------------------                                                                                                           the final step, 

                                                                                ----------------------

                                                                          Its too high, 

                                                                -------------------------

                                                           you might fall,

                                                 -----------------------------

                                           You can't do it, 

                                   ------------------------------

                                   It's too late,  

                            ---------------------------

                     the hardest part

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The rockiest bottom ( it's where to start)

 inspired by a quote from Samuel Beckett -

Try again, fail again, fail better

Climbing up is difficult, falling down is easy, but it hurts, that hurt can stop you from even trying

I love the formatting here Lorna,  ### There are little things that can take us to the highest peak,but enough to get us off the cliff # and when we are on the ground, we seem to lose courage, we don't get up##

Clever, inventive, inspiring and somewhat mind-bending. The great thing about this poem is the formatting and how that leaves it open to the reader whether to read upwards or downwards; rendering the whole thing a poetic palindrome...brilliant!!!

{Sorry it took so long for me to read this...I've been busy offline, as well you know!!}

Love always,
