THE CLIMBER

I sit here on the hilltop
    and view the scene below:
‘Tis I, this one who climbs there
    seeking foothold as I go?
The look of desperation
  on the weary, lifted face,
The frantic eyes e’er searching
  new hold to grasp someplace?
So familiar as I watch now,
  yet so foreign and so strange
  to one seated here in safety
Only grace and peace in range.
