Mounting The Rock

Grant Hope #56

Whether climbing with purpose or repelling at speed
rough walls of stone feel like home away from home
The challenge never dissipates or disappoints

She has climbed and prepared for so long
her strength is rock-steadier than any vault of jutting stone
The barrier of bluff may change little over time
but she has learned to top it bottom to top
top to bottom
for so long
little crevices seem to bend to her hands and feet at command

Friction gives her hold in hand and heart
as she quietly ventures and springs from side to side
and vertically inclines
Nothing will stop this seemingly fearless woman
bravery in this rock face
or sheer confidence in its place
maybe both
only she knows
she is the master of mountains
putting on a clinical show
