Journey

To get there one must Pass eerie looking moorland that is vast Largest tree on earth its shadow will cast Beyond it on will reach mountain pass at last Continue up the mountain until you reach imposing drop Down in the chasm you can see bodies of precipice deadly crop Winds blow there nonstop Mists look green or violet in sunshine on peak’s top But don’t worry for on mountains outer ridge There is a bridge But to go there takes courage For there is active volcano below the passage Volcano never reaches the bridge and it is awesome sight Seen from bridges height It is especially beautiful at night Or at dawns first light The lava that is crimson, orange and scarlet Is contrasted by ground that is deep grey violet The volcano is never silent Air around it is dense and of soul’s pigment Beyond the bridge from next peak go down the ravine With river running between Two mountains one on each side seen The air there is crisp and clean Take a kayak there you must take it but eyes must stay open they can’t be shot The reason the rapids can be dangerous and there is a lot Stones and whirlpools will bother you somewhat Large stone in the right side you will be tempted to stay far away from but do not You must come close to the stone Don’t worry rapids close to it are mild you will not hit the stone But the rapids beyond next turn to the left for great danger are prone And on the left side there is another stone sharp deadly and could be your tombstone As turning slowly left keep your kayak to the river’s right This is the time you must fight Rivers might But if you followed my directions you will alright At the end of the river there are no more rapids only a gentle wave Go down the below to underwater cave Its only couple of meters down so be brave There is air inside the cave so beauty and surreal magnificence of it in mind you can save The diamond like glow with enchantment by that your very soul will be exclaimed It is otherworldly and as yours it can be claimed In it there is glory of the one that cannot be named And nonlinear notion of this majesty can be entertained
