Reaching The Sea Poem by Richard Lackman

Between us and the coast a mountain stands
With jagged peaks and cliffs no man can climb
Like some fierce giant holding up his hands
A threatening menace present for all time

Why does this monster keep us from the shore
And hold us ever prisoners of this land
Is it our fate to helplessly endure
And succumb to what we do not understand

Or is it our true nature to ascend
To overcome great obstacles and more
To climb to lofty heights and never bend
To reach the sea and walk along the shore

Come with me now as we begin to climb
To places where our grace and honor reach
Come with me now to find truth in our time
To reach the sea and walk along the beach
