The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was wonderful once more, and I enjoyed the twilight sky and the shift to night while laughing in the midst of it all. Yes, that’s me, silly laughing guy.
A poem for the day and yesterday:
The Mountain
one more mountain, one more climb
one more moment in search of rhyme
A see the base and shudder twice
for who would want another fight
The day is young and my knees are strong
and I will push to get along
The mid of day is coming fast
I pray my heart will always last
One more step and I push on hard
What was the thing I’m going toward?
A rock slides back and I take a fall
Is it going to be worth it all
Another jump and I still push on
once brown hair now gray or gone
I feel the challenge in my mind
and hold on for this thing called time
The top is close and so many failed
the winds howl forth and wolve still wail
and as I reach the summits crest
I know that I have done my best
Time is slow and time is fast
Nothing easy ever lasts
The depth of power upon my brow
Nothing defining then and now
Again I find myself at the base
of mountain high and find my pace
for one thing down another rose
and a life of mountains is what I chose
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope you find the world and the wonders before you as I do, amazing. Keep being you and climb your mountains whatever the cost, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and be you…
