Aching legs

Marching feet

Stairs after stairs

Up to the unknown

Sweat piling

Out of breath

Stairs after stairs

Neverending

But then,

I’m out of breath

for a entirely different

reason

I can see the city

the entire world

From just this

one point

The mountains hug the city

The gentle setting sun

Casts an orange hue

over the land

What used to look

so intimidating

so imposing

so tall

now looked like ants

It changed my perspective

Gave me a bigger picture

that there is always

another angle

to look at things

You just have to look for it

Take the chance

Make the trek
