Ascending The Ladder

Jacob dreamt and a ladder came on earth, opening such a door
We can’t climb without a ladder; try a goal, reasonable, to soar
You cannot ascend to success dressed in the costume of failure
Christ’s robe of Righteousness graciously covers to adore
It’s not the climb, it’s the positioning of the ladder that matters
Though it’s best to travel light, in case there could be a splatter
It is never crowded at the top but, perhaps, lonely for sure
Those who’ve made it for quality in life avoid distraction’s lure
So many crosses of plumblines, step on the rungs of opportunity
Failed regrets can prepare a plateau to win another possibility
Many climb a proverbial plumbline, or ladder’s rung, all wrong
Courage is a ladder on which all other virtues mount with song
The wise prudently lower to climb, respectfully against a fall
Many reach the top to find the ladder’s against the wrong wall
Reaching too far, one can get stabbed before ascension’s climb
Considering, indomitably, I shall not wane in faith or resign

| This sucker showed soul 'n' purpose 'n' enlightenment. I won't call it cowboy, but it sure got cowboy kick. Thoughtul thought-provoking presentation of wisdom. Why does Courage stand out in this piece? 'Cause courage IS THE Ladder. ya did good, LQ Fun to read; I need to work a little more on my delivery to get it to performance mode, but with yer permission, I will. |
