Pinnacle

Pinnacle


Climbing slowly
Up the mountain
And relishing each step,
As success glorifies
And vibes of joy strike,
Through sunny prickle
And soothing moonlight,

Stopping midway 
As touches the breeze
You heave a sigh,
One glance upward
Sparkle of content,
Bravo more you go,

Crest to culminate
Just one look down
From where you came,
And feel the beauty
The power up there
Another war conquered,
It's so light here!

Who ever has seen
The lava boil inside,
Volcanoes beneath 
Ready to erupt, 
pinnacle you reached
Turns to history
Another fine day!
