Ascension

A Poem

Going up, And up.

Is that Always Good?

Low point. High point.

Middling. Penthouse.

Best is top. It seems.

It works in prose as well.

The story starts bleak

But ends with a cheer;

Or else, Paradise opens

And then, it’s lost.

Enjoy the climb.

Test yourself.

By all means, do.

But pause

In places

To admire the view.

A Word-A-Day

I still struggle with Medium’s text lay out commands and thus was unable to give this piece a nicely mountainous appearance! But thanks for reading and don’t forget to follow.
