Heights of Everest
F orever dreaming of mountains
E verest towering them all
E ven in daydreams I picture
L ong legged eager strides as I climb
I mpressive trails that are winding
N owhere to go but up and up
G ear in hand steady for the trek
E very step a meditation inspired
V agrant cares parked at ground zero
E nduring dwindling oxygen
R eality only a breath and courage
S erenity a state I believe of mind
O ften just slightly out of reach
T oday peace is on this mountain
A live and gloriously well
L oud is its chant as it echoes
L onging to soar Everest heights
