Coward

my name means ascent
and beauty
the ascent toward beauty
that beauty ascends
that ascent is beauty
but today I am
a coward
I believe in nothing
my arms wrap around
my self
and will not fight
or build
or love
or climb
I am trying by design
but not with reasons
my mind reaching farther
than my heart has hands
