Mountain

Listen to poem:

Mountain 

No sherpa, rope
Or faithful steed
In stocking feet
I do proceed 

Each day I climb
Relentless slope
To rest my weary head
And hope 

That once the peak
Of my desire
To elevated place
Aspire 

Concludes. 

No flag or 
Selfie pose will take
No Instagram.
No front page stake. 

Just me.
To hear the lost applause
Of decades climbing
For the cause 

And when the final
Bell tolls here..
The challenge ends.
The final year. 

My human vehicle
Now kaput 
The mode of transport
No sock dressed foot 

My rationale
I will defend
As heaven's stairs
Now, I ascend 

The greatest mission
Has to start..
An expedition 
Of the heart
