The Peak

The Peak

A new endeavor tickles the brain,
causing curiosity to PIQUE,
appealing strongly to the senses,
but the motivational force is weak.

Like a car idling motionless,
the idea remains out of gear;
then desire brings forth impetus...
overcoming initial fear.

How difficult can this really be?
Let's take a closer PEEK...
Once the path is more apparent,
forward motion seems less bleak.
​​
Each success amidst the journey
reveals confidence gaining steam,
 - hesitation now unchained -
body and mind a united team.

The destination lies in view,
as the dreamer continues the ascent;
courage now in full control
with no signs it might relent.

The learning curve now mastered,
strength exuding from the once weak,
as the conqueror emerges victorious
reaching the summit, the final PEAK.

Thanks so much, Susan!  I don't consider this even close to my best but the different uses of "peak" struck me so tried something a bit different.  Appreciate the feedback - happy writing!*!*!
