One Long Career, Year After Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

One long career, year after
Year,
Climbing a mountain of
Snows
Height calculated in the
Blue heavens and threatening
White of clouds
But ever, ever
From ledge to the other
You go ever-increase
You think you reached the top
And
Calculations burst atop
Just
Year after year
Colorful yet at the expense of
Confusion, battles, envy, malice
Arrows, courts, causes –
And the rest in the category.
A vessel tossed here and
There
Now up
Now down
Yet ever surviving the sinking
Despite the time
The ageing
One long career, year after
Year,
Climbing a mountain of
Snows
