Mountainous Hill

I follow the vast height of the mountain with my eyes and set my jaw with resolve. From climbing this rock I can only gain, but from a hill a mountain will evolve. One foot placed, one hand grasps the shiny rock, and with stressing focus, I endeavour. Near the impending peak, my fingers lock. That moment repeats itself forever. My climb once more I begin cautiously Do not let go, but always persevere. At the peak, rock crumbles ominously Looking down, I see the only exit: a fall to fear. Determined, I straighten and I stand my ground For success with no work is never found.
