Climbing the mountain,
you walk on its rim
scratching the surface
never let in
Once at the summit
new footing takes hold
rock you can stand on
—legend foretold
Climbing the mountain,
never look down
focus above you
reach for the crown
Others who failed
and others to come
will follow the tracks
—that lead zero sum

Kurt,
This poem is the ultimate for me…especially now. I’ve been reading your work for five years. Journeying through your poetry, your comments, and the characters in your novels, I’ve realized that when…
‘Climbing the mountain,
never look down
focus above you
reach for the crown
Others who failed
and others to come
will follow the tracks
—that lead zero sum’
Thank you for sharing your pen.🙏🏻
