The Hill
There is a hill behind my house that changes
With every season, it transforms and makes me
Roughly move on from waiting to rolling.
I have known that hill my entire life,
At the hill’s end all is night filled with strife;
It is flat and ready for an ambush.
I have never chased anything but truth
Which always leads me into a battle.
On the hill top my body leans forward
And the sky stretches far upward:
Up, up, up the sky appears boundless
My feet are almost lifted from the ground,
My selfish soul, she wants to soar, painless.
But down below lies a glorious fight
The priceless prize Truth begs my mind, “seize me!”
Resolve flings my body down to the night.
