Mountain Reflections

When I sit atop a high mountain all alone
And feel the cosmos to the bone

I dream of adventures traveling to distant stars
Traversing the dark to make the galaxy ours

If only imagination could take me away
From the trivial goings of day to day

A ship to take me wherever my heart would go
Careless and free entirely without woe

But I lay here in this beautiful place
Forcing me to have to eventually face

The reality of my mortal life
Full of pain and endless strife

If only I could fly away
To follow the travelers simple way
