I Write - Decade Edition - Roaring 20's

MOUNT HUASHAN, CHINA

Adventure awaits on the heavenly stairs
Climbing up into the clouds, mastering your cares.
Looking down into ragged beauty
All this way to the treehouse and to tea.

Thousands make this trek each year
Placing their lives in all they hold dear.
Precarious steps, thin boards and chain to hold
Going this distance is so very bold.
