As I Climbedfeatured

It became the adventure my soul searched endlessly for,
Tirelessly through the thickening of the brush filled forest.
Decay settling in all around, as it nourished off the fruits of the Earth;
The barren lands no longer had its potent and gifted elixir.

Markings revealed themselves across my saturated skin,
As I bathed in the rushing water that poured over the edges of the rocks.
A reminder of the scars and places I’ve traveled through on my journey,
Resiliency becoming the companion of the strong willed.

Countlessly I observed the choices of the self-guided direction before me,
Alluding that the full circle of life gives as often as it takes back.
Even in the confusion of the upward climb I let my senses guide me;
Mighty is the Mountain that holds the heart of the warrior.
