ASCEND
Come forward
and face me,
fear cannot stop
what is the path,
for it yours
to vanquish.
For,was it not you
whom chose
the passage.
Was it not
your soul reflected
in eyes,
pleading to know.
Summit, what
you must,
for only then,
can you find
yourself,
void of
fear.

This shot and your words reminded me of the Epitaph of Elijah Browning from Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Matsters:
I was cold and in pain.
Then the sun streamed on me again,
And I saw the mists below me hiding all below them.
And I, bent over my staff, knew myself
Silhouetted against the snow.
And above me
Was the soundless air, pierced by a cone of ice,
Over which hung a solitary star!
A shudder of ecstasy, a shudder of fear
Ran through me.
But I could not return to the slopes—
Nay, I wished not to return.
For the spent waves of the symphony of freedom
Lapped the ethereal cliffs about me.
Therefore I climbed to the pinnacle.
I flung away my staff.
I touched that star
With my outstretched hand.
I vanished utterly.
For the mountain delivers to
Infinite Truth
Whosoever touches the star.
