light riddle


although the rope was cut

the tie to the mountain was so strong

and the rocks yielded to her tight grip

 

this climb not easy

but the stone platformed

allowing her to stand

and look

the view down the valley

was gloomy

but she was above the dark trees

she could see their tops

and knew the sun was behind clouds

speaking the light riddle
