Mountain Road

I have walked along the mountain road The Summer's warmth greeted me When the air was crisp from Winter's snow. I climbed to the peak to better see The largest valley opened wide As if to swallow all of me I lean outward to fall inside The wind wisps fast against my face Falling down a mountainside. The ground grows near to soon erase my body shakes and then erodes. I hit the path that I had traced. And like to say before I grow old I have walked along the mountain road.
