Array ( [sid] => 62713 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Ice Mountain [time] => 2004-09-05 23:15:20 [hometext] => Not meant to be as happy as it sounds in the end... but oh well [bodytext] => In the distance I see an ice covered mountain
Beautiful and pristine it calls my name

Closer and closer I finally reach its base
And look at it’s now treacherous face

First a hand then another
I leave the comfort of the ground with no other

Farther and farther I climb ice covered rock
The cold starting to numb me through my sock

I press on wanting to reach the top
Feeling my muscles tear and pop

Pain searing my worn flesh
This mountain and I do not mesh

Farther I climb now I can see the peak
From my body my life begins to leak

Strive I do for my one and only goal
No matter the toll it takes on my tortured soul

First one had then another
I reach the top of this icy tower

I gaze around at the beauty around me
I can now finally set my soul free

I like this. The jouney is worthwhile if the view from the top is beautiful. I think I see what you meant about the ending though. Nice write!
