The climb

 

Anxious towards the light

Is the puffed up breath

One step at a time

Slowly with a tremble

Of the doubting foot

Like a brown creeper

Climbing with a hold

Shaking on the crutches

Of the surrendered mind

The dispersed fruit beholds

This stretch of the shoot

While the hand slips out

Mistaken by a branded glove

The final foot on the terrace

Then the smile in the sun

And the swing amidst rays

The generations pollinate

And the floral joy overflows.
