Tranquility

 

Up in the gentle sky

I dangle exceedingly high

My hands alabaster from the chalk

I’ve got no time to stop and talk

My face pours sweat as I hoist myself higher

After a while my lungs feel as if on fire

I grow dizzy from the thin air

I hope I can make it to the top--for it still looks quite high up there

But at the same time, in the midst of my angst and my fear

I feel peace and a calm air

The crisp breeze is uplifting

The silence pleasing

I can see the treetops

Some of them lop-

sided, and a beautiful green

The wilderness never loses its sheen

I feel a great tranquility come unto me

Next time will you come with me?
