The Mountain

Life is a mountain
I climb and climb and climb.

I get to the top, conquering all:
All my fears and all my goals
All the steep rises and falls.

I can move no further,
I have taken a long, winding road,
only to look around
and find the reward I was promised,
shrouded in cloud.

I don't see anything, I just see grey
Cold, wet, wispy hands wrap around me,
The freezing wind shoves me backwards and forwards

The view from the top is not all it's cracked up to be.
