Early Blooms Are Unwitting Liars
<p>We promise one another value in this deceptive climb<br />
Up twisting slope with gentle grade turned arduous<br />
Difficult scramble with slips, slides, and sinks into avid mud.</p>
<p>Too late, we realize this was a terrible idea, turn to face down.<br />
Down is worse than up, maybe because we know what’s waiting<br />
Beneath breeze-swayed branches shivering shadows over doom.</p>
<p>Facing the final stretch, we pant, heave, and toss brave words<br />
We hope are heard, believed, and encourage the other<br />
Because we cannot do this alone, refused to relinquish quest.</p>
