I managed to climb
Everest
As crazy as it may
seem I really did.
I won’t lie it was
one of the toughest & hardest things to do
But I was convinced
that I needed to; that I had no choice.
Halfway up the
Everest I paused,
And wondered why I
decided to put myself through this torture
And then I
remembered.
The main reason for
climbing Everest
Was to stand up there
at the top,
Spread my arms wide
and let the wind blow against me,
Scream at the top of
my lungs to let it all out,
Close my eyes and
move towards the edge,
And just let myself
drop into the arms of gravity.
Just as gravity was
about to pull me to its embrace,
I felt a force that
worked against gravity.
There was something
wrong here;
I was supposed to
fall off Everest into the arms of gravity,
That was the plan!
Instead, I was being
pulled away from gravity.
I wanted to open my
eyes to see what was going on, but I wouldn’t dare.
I felt so much warmth
like a tight embrace
And I thought to
myself; that’s weird,
How could it be this
warm up here, where it’s supposed to be freezing cold?
I was enjoying this
warmth but was scared to open my eyes.
I had no idea what
pulled me from the grip of gravity
I had no idea what
embraced me with so much warmth
Would they disappear
if I opened my eyes?
I was scared to but I
opened my eyes anyway.
To my surprise, it
was you.
You had been there
all along.
You climbed Everest
with me and I didn’t notice.
You were there every
rocky climb of the way and I still didn’t notice.
You noticed that
gravity was urging me on to join him beneath the Everest,
But I still never
noticed you there.
You were very warm
when it was freezing at the top of the Everest,
But I never noticed
you.
When I opened my
eyes, I noticed it was you,
I noticed that it has
always been you.
Suddenly the top of
the Everest was as beautiful as it was supposed to be.
Everything beneath
and above me looked even lovelier.
I found all I had
been searching for in you
At the top of the
Everest.
