[QDeathstar]

Life's Climb

Floating aimlessly in endless aggressive
seas searching for some passerby --
a vessel in the distance --
a ray of sunshine before the endless night.

Jutting out from the violence below
the only salvation that can be found
rises up. We climb each step
in an attempt to each the top

to look down on all we've left behind.

So focused gaining elevation
we'd never noticed danger
lurking past the last step
