Work in progress
Not sure if this is complete or if I'll tweak it some more.
Peaceful nothingness calls with siren song
& darkest night is the brightest thing,
soul-weary & heart-exhausted I stumble
restful comfort calls far & few between.
Fire-ant bites and barbed-nettle shrubs cling
An aching mountain of sliding slopes I climb,
Slowly comes each footfall as I stumble
to see if Hope's fog wrapped summit I can sight.
Yet snaking path leads back around
Dispair's foothills never recede,
Slippery slope again back down
And distant summit I'm yet to achieve.
