Chasing Visions

[originally intended this for the Mountains contest, but must have missed the submissions deadline as it seems be closed already] I am forever chasing visions as I ride atop the crest of waves snow-peaked mountains loom beyond sea rim clutching languidly at passing clouds somber in early dawn - a lion waking up slow from untroubled sleep. All nature's creation - the gurgle of flowing springs, the forest in bloom bow to their majesty and radiance like admiring and loyal subjects puny creature as I am, I feel like David taking on Goliath. Entranced, I'm drawn towards this vision I drink lavishly and sate my thirst their magnificence transforming me I, David, have become Goliath. the king of kings have bestowed on me their awesome power and elegance. Today, I shall be invincible. the mountains, the Force, have awakened I kneel as a tap on my shoulder has given me confidence to toss blithely any dice on life's game board and it will roll in grace, not fall short. So I sigh at my visions - but think how I can soar free to the heavens no longer earth-bound, and fly with ease to pedestals of my choice, such that I can move mountains and wave them so like a wand to empower my day. @jjote 07/18/2016
