Altitude: Climbing Way Above the {What Ifs}

Billy wrote this piece after climbing the Haiku Stairs in Oahu, Hawaii.

step up, come with me

above fear, beyond judgment

one step past doubt, up

–

on the knife’s sharp edge

don’t let fright slice potential

higher still! come up!!

you have more to give

always lots more than you think

trust me, one more step

–

dancing now, in flow

with love, with essence, one with

keep on, to the top

your best expression

everything. nothing. At Once.

the view worth each step

–

you have everything

Everything. you have it now.

no excuses, now go

you’ll find on the edge

you will find You, on that edge

you are right here. Look!

–

be scared, but don’t stop

you need to go now. step up!

you are magical

some won’t see though

too scared to take that first step

wasting life, what if?

–

don’t stay wondering

how high really is “what if?”

just go now. step up

–

each step builds higher

above what thought possible
