to lift you from the pit -
you must climb out,
handhold by foothold
It's not enough that you have tried,
proven that you know
how to grasp the rocks -
every elevation must be gained
But there's a secret sustenance -
you'll feel it as you climb -
your hands, your feet, your breath
will send the message
The life power of your movement
will fill you
with more of the same,
increasing steadily,
up the rough terrain.
