Up and Over


Up and Over

Rough stone
Sharp edges
One misstep
results in
brush burns.
Another could
mean a fall.
Find firm
footing and
up you go,
over the wall.

Shinning


Shinning


Reach and pull
Reach and pull
Hold tight enough so
you don't slip back

Reach and pull
Reach and pull
Loose enough so
the bark won't scratch

Reach and pull
Reach and pull
Think of all 
the sights you'll see

Reach and pull
Reach and pull
Before you know it,
you're up a tree.

Uneven Ground

 
 
Uneven Ground
 
The knee aches
on uneven ground,
issuing warnings.
“Watch those stones.
You might lose
your balance.”
Don’t make that climb.
It’s too risky.”
Recently damaged
by a misstep,
the knee cries out
in hopes of
preventing another.

Trust, once broken,
is hard to restore.
