FALL

I trudged up the mountain,
With some pleasant effort,
In hindsight,I knew that
I would end up hurt.

I made my way up to the top,
With a breathtaking view,
I'd never feel this again,
That much I knew.

It was beautiful and dangerous,
Everything and all,
And then I went little too far,
I had to fall,

And in the wake of it, I
Began to realize,
The fall was worth the view I
Beheld in my eyes.
