Lia impossible ascent appeared again,
the valley stride abrupt vanish

and as such
how did I not expect it once again,
though I knew it would come?

sanctuary breath
briefer each time,
exhaustion clouding my view

all I know, all i've overcome,
succumbed,
winding hours and days,
out of mind in one
flash of fresh relief

til there mounting before me
Olympus again, oh not again

i wasn't ready

does God somehow know,
as does my spirit,
the unequivocal power of understanding
the sacred replenishment of your smile?

eyes burning,
limbs aching,
i climb
