Beatrice's Reply

by Sprite Guard

I've heard the stories of that place
Where mountains rise beyond the air
I've heard the dangers you must face
To reach that place and what is there

Alone I tell you, do not go
You'll die, you'll die, you'll surely die
There are more dangers than you know
Way up where rocks support the sky

The land is like a maze, they say
Uncanny valleys wind and weave
And nobody can know the way
To reach the end, or even leave

If one should want a birds eye view
They'll have to climb for it, and that
Is something done by very few
You must be agile as a cat

Alone I tell you, do not go
With none to help you by your side
But you and me together, though
We might yet live where others died
