I have dragged myself up
Climbing steps, to the top
Far, from the valley, below
Determined, I’ll never stop
I have a few more steps to go
Let me reach the castle, high
Finally, stand upon the summit
I breathe in, and let out a sigh
As the ground below me, plummets
For the view from above, is splendid
Though the feelings, here, full of strife
As mountains, paint the landscape
I see the visions, once a beautiful life
For here, there stood a fortress
Now, only a single wall remains
Still, the battle cry of victory
Can be heard, across the plains
If you listen very carefully
You’ll hear the spirits, from long ago
Whispers, of how the brave stood fast
Guarding the summit, in its afterglow
Join Sue, every Thursday, as she delights us with a new photo (or two)! Thanks again, for another beautiful photo prompt!

Beautiful sentiment. I had this kind of experience in Sedona, Arizona. I could feel the spirits weaving around the red rocks.
