There are High Days
When you finaly
Find your treasure.
Then…
There are the Holy Days
When your treasure
Finds you.

Time is in the driver seat
Never pulling over to rest.
Fear is singing comforting songs from childhood
About how everything will be alright.
Apathy is carving up Ambition’s body
Throwing the pieces out the window.
Despair follows in the distance
Sweeping Ambition’s remains off the Road.

Man could wrap his arms around creation
If he bothered to maintain a line
Back to the beginning
Though, in fact,
Our arms are shorter
Than our legs
Since most can’t remember
The ground they touched today
If anyone touched ground at all

Ω
Walking in a circle
revisiting each step
again and again
Ad infinitum
.
Ending and beginning
in the Chasm
Highpoint of memory
bottomless in despair
.
If if virtue is gold
my soul is poor
each revolution
refilling the pit with debt
.
In it collects the runoff
of apprehension and fear
as a cauldron of doubt
and crucible for folly
.
yet at the edge again
by my choice
i bring myself
wan and bridgeless
.
Though after the crossing
as i emerge and walk yet away
am i really leaving
or beginning the trip back
ω
≠
It seems to me that
when one is lost
All directions
lead toward the Wrong Way
Burdened with aimlessness
An individual may find comfort
in their present location
Hanging the ‘Home sweet Home’ sign
Yet
When over the horizon one can see
A destination,
Do All directions then lead
To that goal

On the Path
the trail ends
no more steps
On the Mountain
−
Trekking up the Mountain
my mountain
The Path will eventually end
my path
The time comes
my time
To carve new steps
my steps
Or
End all progression
my end
Stand still treelike
my stillness
Cast a shadow down the Mountain
my shadow
Hiding the paths of the journey
my hiding
from the Sun
−
It’s the Treeline
It’s why so many Great Mountains
Are bare at the Summit
