I've never climbed a mountain
Not a big deal, really
It's not like it's one of my
unfulfilled dreams or anything
And no, I'm not making a list
I'm just stating the fact
The plain truth remains
I've never climbed a mountain
I figure, let the mountain be
It's no less impressive
with me on solid ground
In fact, you might argue
that I'm doing good work
standing here with you
admiring it from afar
When people ask why I don't
climb mountains I can reply
with dignity, "Because I'm here"
When did I become a mountaineer?
ReplyDeleteKeep up, reach for the peak.
Focus and keep climbing
I'd rather stay here for a while and watch the clouds.
Who's giving the orders here?
Don't stop. Got to press on.
Would anyone even notice
If I waited here for a while, and watched the clouds?

Sorry - I didn't mean to post it twice...
ReplyDeleteIt's daunting,
ReplyDeleteIs it not?
That what started out so small
Has gotten so huge?
That's what happens
When you push it all aside--
Your troubles just pile up
And tower above you
Where too loud a sound
Will bring it all down on you.
I used to feel
ReplyDeleteI could conquer mountains
And now
That anthill is too big.
Gotta watch out
For those fire-ants--
Caution
For their bites burn.
I knew I should've
ReplyDelete......cleaned out my closet
......................Last year.
Should I?
ReplyDeleteWhat if something happens?
What if nothing happens?
Lost!
A moment gone
Acerbic judgement brings the gavel down
Drown the spark
Live in your head
Excitement comes from outside
Yet.
A world exists within that hesitation
You can only live forward into time
A line with the arrowhead on only one end
To that end
He who hesitates
Creates a world
