With every rung,

Clenched tightly Fear of falling.

Every breath,

Knowing higher need for going.

Pause for a moment,

Frozen in time of horror.

Gain momentum in thought,

Witnessing steps to present moment.

Where one is,

Is because where one was.

One step at a time,

One rung at a time.

Higher and higher,

Deeper and deeper.

As we climb the Ladder within Canvas of Life,

Further we enter cosmos of it All.
