Life View

Looking back I see the twists and turns of a life lived
A narrow track weaving its way to the top of the mountain
With churning memories painting a retrospective story of the past
The track undulating and uneven
Scarred with deep-set pits and hollows
Overgrown hedges encroach and block access
Impeding progress, hindering the journey
Slowed, but not halted, life moves forward
Hesitant, sluggish, tardy, yet still advancing
Gathering momentum as it nears the crest of the hill
The horizon, a shining beacon of hope
And dreams that float far in the distance
Visible and attainable, just take one step
