The Garden Wall

Climbing up the garden wall,
the questions loom
-the answers small

Climbing up the garden wall,
the past retreats
-the future falls

Climbing up the garden wall,
a distant voice
-your name beyond

Climbing up the garden wall,
a minstrel plays
-forgotten songs

Climbing up the garden wall,
Lot's wife is dead
-not looking back

Climbing up the garden wall,
the top in sight
-the beanstalk jacked

Climbing up the garden wall,
I reach across
-all fear behind

Climbing up the garden wall,
horizons new
-the choices mine

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
