The Mountain climber’s wife

Stop and take heed to my echos as I cry across a vast expanse,
allow distant hearts a chance.
You, a man of lofty standards, a man of plans, of dreams,
a mind of schemes.

You have earned honors aplenty, highest regards possess,
with the knowledge to impress.
Did I not contribute to your ascent, soaring to incredible height,
or am I the blight?

Yearning to climb mountains, I held onto you tight,
yet you doubted my might.
I never meant to ground you in our connection, flooding esteem,
all I sought was a shared dream.

You forged on without me, now I call to you across this vast expanse,
a chance for a second chance.
A man of high aspirations, scaling mountains above the norm,
weathering any storm.

With intellect shining, accolades earned, and respect deserved, it’s true,
as bright as mountain dew.
Onward to the peak of love, the void, let kindness take its place,
forgiving faults with grace.

Bid farewell to the river of time, put the past behind, let grace flow,
to let love grow.
listen to the song of my heart, let its’ music fill this vast expanse,
On mountain tops, with me dance.
