As she summons yet another ounce of strength
to climb another step

Stop.

I can't climb anymore!
Her limbs cry out,
Yearning for respite from the unyielding cliff
and inhospitable rocks.

The war must be fought,
The battle must be won.
She must yield only to the urging of her determination,
Never to the cry of of her desperation.

She must not turn to the crimson life-line that is waiting for her to give up.
She must not let go.
