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
