Climb

The tether to reality
Is just a simple line
A falling rock could set this all in motion

One mis-placed step
and so begins a deadly slide
Some thoughts should remain unspoken

So much power in a word
a careless bullet on its way
Shot out like some empty slogan

When so much can be lost
Who holds tight to the belay
Some thoughts should remain un spoken

An avalanche of emotion
Falling down this mountain side
Is there no time to recover

Trusting in your partner
Who’s trusting in your skill
It’s one person tied to another.

If we leave the chosen route
will a passage be revealed
No certainty in what maybe found

But a course must be chosen
with nerves hard as nickeled steel
Perhaps it’s best it no one makes a sound

We begin this last ascent, begin this final climb
No one speaks of the dangers of falling
Who may go on and who get’s left behind
Is the song in the wind Devine calling

Talk can come so easy
When prices are so high
Spirits lifted up dashed down and broken
Out here on this ledge
time to make this final climb
Some words should not be spoken

Perhaps I should tell you exactly how I feel
But the words catch in my throat as I’m choking
Out here on this ledge let=s hold on to this intrigue
And leave some words unspoken
