Bloody Trails

I forgot about this one. It's like Christmas in March!

Up we go.  Up we go
To the top of the hill
From the valley below
Light up the darkness
Kill the shadows
Exit from your deathly hallows

Marching on.  Marching on
Through the darkness
'Til the dawn
Blaze the paths
No stops 'til landing
The meekest will not be left standing

Step. Step. Step. Step.
'Til day breaks
Or 'til your death
Quicker, now
To higher ground
Or keep your pace; to death, be bound

This is poetry! Powerful writing. You reflect so deeply that drive to go forward and live no matter how steep that metaphoric climb through life is; climb to live, or die hollow by giving up and letting everything pass you by. I love this poem!
