This poem expresses my life, wondering in the woods of the unknown for myself, where do I go from here, what have I done in these wondering, and as the dust of trials is lifted I found that a hidden desire to write has been unearthed thanks to those who have accepted my poetry in contests and those here in Poetry Soup Family.

Pinnacle

My indefinite existence on this winding road
Discovering passage through woods a peaceful abode
As powdery dust blocks my vision
Then settles so I can see my mission
The wondrous pathway
Long and lengthy leading me astray 
As I climb to reach the top
I stand upon the pointed rock
This is my most successful point
Nothing can disappoint
The culmination of my journey
The wealth of thoughts received is worthy
It is the breath of my success 
A job well done in a personal sense
The covering capstone becomes a gemstone
Where I stand-alone
Meaningful words turns lyrical
I’ve reached the pinnacle

this is gorgeous. It must have been in the contest but I see no congrats, which is disappointing. I'd have expected this one on the list. Glad to see a new poet like you here.

I read a lot more in between the lines than what is contained in this rich and layered rhyme. I think it is marvelous.

the pinnacle of the ever elusive mountain metaphor. Well done. I think the one line that cements this poem is "Where I stand Alone" having achieved a success and ready to approach the next summit eagerly.
