Poem

Hills have always made me wonder
what it's like to stand atop
each and every one of them,
surveying every thing below
be it small, large or in-between
as if all I surveyed
belonged to me
as part of my mystical domain.

Hills have always made me wonder
who stood atop them before me
and if, they too, felt as I
and what they did 
upon realizing
that hills are always there
to offer new perspectives,
to confirm old perspectives,
to tell new stories 
or conjure up old ones
on Life, on Love, on All that ever was.

Hills have always made me wonder
how I can go back down 
to that flat world below
and not have been changed
by my being so above
all the things that never mattered,
things petty and mundane,
inconsequential things
that have no meaning
nor importance
to how Life is and should be,
for that is what being on a hill
has taught me.

Hills have always made me wonder
how things so small 
as seen from my hilltop vision
have diverted me
from saying, doing and feeling
what I have always wanted
to say, to do and feel 
all along,
but somehow
life in the flat world 
sometimes can't accommodate
a hilltop vision
and that is why 
we must look at every thing
be it small, large or in-between
as if it were all part
of our own mystical domain
where all is possible,
all is available
and all can be achieved
for this is what being on a hill
can show you
when you are ready to see.
