The Moment

Step by step recount of the trip to success.
Seize the moment,
Hold tightly to the ledge!
One hand grabs the branch,
One foot in the toehold,
Do not look down!
Take it one step at a time,
Easy now, you can do this.
One hand holds a root,
The other grasps a rope,
Feet are searching for purchase.
Scrabble over the crest,
Pant for the breath you crave.
You stretch out
Across the mountain top,
Peering up into the sky.
Sweet success is yours!
You held this dream in your heart,
Now it has reached fruition.
