What do you see when you reach the summit <br />Of a mountain that took a lifetime to scale <br />Is the peaceful sight comforting without regret? <br />Or are streams of knowledge causing you pale? <br /> <br />In moments before lapsing into unconsciousness <br />A review shows a panoramic scene of your ascent <br />Revealing an upward trail that fades into blankness <br />The past cannot be change with a retraced descent <br /> <br />1/3/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fade-to-black-3/
