The Tower

And so we climb seeking the light,
Fearing the fall in the dark of night.
Are you there?
Can I see you this time?
We climb ever higher
One step at a time.
What is it we seek?
We seek only the light.
To banish away
The dark of the night.
And then we fall...
What is it we find?
Another light, a darker kind.
So, up we climb in search of the light.
Hoping for freedom from the darkness of night.
