HEAVENLY VIEW
I stayed at a resort last year
So high up, I felt a small fear
I never wanted to get real close
To the window, heights I fear most
We had been there a few days
Early one morning I woke in a haze
I leaned up, but didn’t get too near
To see what the fuss was about being up here
I looked over from the edge of my bed
Joy and peace is what filled my head
I was up above the clouds as the fog rolled in
Up here I couldn’t be touched by sin
No, I haven’t been to Heaven’s gate
Not sure if that’s my fate
But this view from where I sit
May just be as close as I get

Sounds like the elation from overcoming heights has eased a bit of fright. When I was young my aunt lived in the city on the 56th floor, I used to look over the ledge and I think that's where my fear of heights came from. Maybe someday I'll get over it. Good poem.
