Majestic Ascent
Summit as breath tax.
The mountain does not care about your triumph song. It offers thin air, steep test, valley small only if you earned the height.
Each step is argument: grit against gravity, lungs against pride.
The view is payment, not gift.
Thirteen is old enough to love the summit and know the descent is also coming.
The valley waits. It was always there.
