new days and summits

she said it right
new blossoms bring new flowers
but freezing rain comes fast and near
flee quickly and quietly
to avoid their hard-hitting blows

let's get there
uphill - start walking slowly
we can't run or we'll tire before the summit
we'll have a better view from there
and possibly build to a higher place yet

still waiting and wondering
if i'll be there
or you'll be there
