Mountain Venture

Weeks of rigorous preparation are now complete As the journey up the mountain begins I can not accept defeat My goal is to obtain the worlds most ultimate view I know I must go beyond physical and mental endurance to follow through I start to feel breathless reaching for the sky The higher I go, struggling through the bitter cold and deep snow I try not to cry A flock of birds glides right by me in perfect flight The sunshine is so brilliant such a perfect site My dream of reaching the peak is about to come true As the clouds break apart the top is in plain view I finally arrive fighting incredible fatigue and nauseating pain A sense of great accomplishment for conquering the terrain
