Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
By the invisible bootstraps you climb,
hand over hand, stretching forth,
reaching for the light and warmth,
goodbye to the cold earth of winter,
shaking the dirt from your foot
as you climb the currents of air,
up through the rushing rain
to the applause of summer.
