A Lifetime Spent

photo by author ©

spent a lifetime climbing summits taking risks the mountain unforgiving yet failed to touch the stars

but that’s alright in every dream they shine

spent a lifetime courting purest beauty unpredictable wild and dangerous yet failed to capture her in words

but that’s alright in every dream we’re lovers and when the lifetime’s spent and all dreams end purest beauty and the mountain carry on

and that’s alright
