Over The Hill Poem by Laurence Overmire

Over The Hill

Rating: 5.0


In middle age
you find
the bridges are burned
there’s no going back
a long climb to the top
of a lonely hill

the sharp descent is
quick and foreboding
the road disappearing
in a thicket of lost hope
a dust of memory
choking back

tears.
