Ringing In My Ear

see the light your eyes
describe, in every shade
from joy to grey

         ...feel the weight
your mind inflicts
with heartless, selfish
life neglect

now clear a path
with lessons learned

          and 
climb your mountain

.....left undisturbed

to see a world
your heart deserves

and laugh in weightless
gratitude....

 for all God's Gifts

the world to share

Nice picture, I like the last two lines; mountain climbing reminds me of a movie that I usually saw when I was about age 3 or 4; thanks a lot for the experience =D
