It all went without question

in that fairytale time

just another goal

to set my aim

yet doubt sets in

through the middle distance

winding its way through every scene

it hides the path ahead

beneath heavy clouds and fog

until I wonder – at myself –

at this love of the climb –

at the goals I set before me –

until all that remains

are questions

replacing the dream

of what lies ahead – Caroline A. Slee
