Peak View
Mountain path rises
and narrows
as peak approaches-
looming closer
growing wild....
advancing height
as journey shortens.
Distant view reveals
cascading waterfalls
descending like champagne
into deep vessels....
overflowing like fountains
of hot lava
exiting volcanic eruption.
Peak closes in
as final ridge gives way
to highest point
where all that's seen
is rugged land waste
resembling years past-
the joy of victory
the sorrow of loss and strife.
Limitless sight
spins its morning star.
I see as far
as old horizons
give and take
amid the glow
of old and new light
from distant days-
the glimmering rays
now fading to history-
recorded scenes
gone from here and now
but living still unchanged.
Peak darkens
as day closes-
a lantern swings
and turns another tide.
