Mountains I Have Traveled

There are mountains I have traveled where the roaring streams of life have caught me in their torrents down below the murky strife. My feet denied a stony crevasse in the deep canyons of desire; now, once more I crest the summit, absorbing sunlight's cleansing fire. © Faye Lanham Gibson, June 12, 2014
