Mountain Climbing

My first villanelle did not stick to the true form which was pointed out

quite rightly by John Welford .

Taking his words on board I used "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas as a guide to produce this as a tribute to the hard work of The Vocal Social Society Team.

=================================================

Your only task is to climb the Mountain

The path is before you, the way is clear

Start to walk, Start To Climb , You will attain

*

The Path Gets Hard, Your Goal Is Certain

You Move further forward , You Have No Fear

Your only task is to climb the Mountain

*

Keeping Focus, You May Feel Uncertain

Pausing to rest, Feeling somewhat unclear

Start to walk, Start To Climb , You will attain

*

Your heart and your mind clear foggy curtain

You know that soon your goal will be so near

Your only task is to climb the Mountain

*

Snowy summit , is illumination

Renewing your hope, your goal will appear

Start to walk, Start To Climb , You will attain

*

You and yours have now brought to fruition

Remember the goal you set is now here

Your only task is to climb the Mountain

Start to walk, Start To Climb , You will attain

The song is "Theme From An Imaginary Western" composed by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown and performed by Mountain so that's the connection, and I love the beautiful image from the cover of the album "Mountain Climbing" which it comes from.
