The Ascent
Grab hold,
and take this hand that
reaches out to you.
Look up
into my eye;
my spirit
cries out to you:
Friendship is my thought.
Let us climb the jagged cliff of life
and fight the ascent of Opposition together,
if I can lift you today,
you will look back
and grab the hands of a thousand more.
