The Hill

All my life

I have seen this hill

Alone in a field

Covered by light green grass

No trees

Blue sky

No clouds

I can only see a certain distance

Only up to the top of the hill

I can not see what lies beyond it

The hill is too big

I can not go backwards

No way of going to the past

I can not go around it

There is no way around

And no matter how long I walk

I can never see over it

Sometimes the terrain is rocky

Wet and muddy

Leaving me feeling like I can never reach the top

Other times the hill is grassy and soft

And the slope is so gentle

It feels as if you are not climbing a hill at all.

But still the hill continues

Climbing and climbing

What is beyond the hill?

I do not know

It could be anything

Could I be heading towards a cliff?

With no means of backing away?

It could even be an empty field

Or even a tree under which I can rest

But there is no way to truly know what lies beyond this infinite hill

Because to know the future

Is truly impossible
