Free verse poem for a contest
Starting pebbles at the bottom,
Soon boulders,
Over eons coalesce into mountains
Trillions of mountains to a planet,

Progress is like that,
Slow steady sure
A painting more than one brushstroke
An hour more than seconds
A lifetime more than a day

So traveler on the journey
Despise not the difficulty,
Or if you do,
find the small birdsong,
Focus there and in time,
You will see the view from the top.
