Mountain
High on the hill was my rock.
A rock that filled my heart.
A rock that from the ground
inspired me to start.
Where climbing felt as powerful
as legs in steady force.
And breathing meant the warmer air
was fresher for the course.
The whole time passing earthy scents
with each new boulder passed.
The green moss giving comfort from
the hillside looking vast.
When reaching what I'd have to call
the world's highest view.
The hardest substance under foot
to make a man feel new.
The place where I thought everything
was perfect in my sight.
Exhilleration rising up
with power, fear and might.
