Standing On Top Of The World

I need this kind of peace
Where the light clouds
Is above the black clouds
Not too hot, but temperate
Feeling, touching cool wind
Touch my tan skin and brush my hair
I stand in a place where I am level
My eyes to see below my gaze
The green mountain far across wide
The sea is at left below my eyes
And the houses so tiny scatter at the right
Leading to the long highway side the beach
Here at this balcony of a resort view
All the nature and human life is in my gaze
It's nice to be on the top of the world
It's a good freedom and a quite liberal in thinking.

Hello Hugo, What a great feeling to stand on top of the world. To see all the beauty that is seen. How wonderful Mother nature is giving us beauty to see. Much love here. /Darlene/

Hello Hugo, Yes it would be a previlege to see the videw from on top of a mountain. No wonder you feel pride. Yes it would be lonely at the top if you are alone. Yes the real fight is down below. So you climb mountains? Wow! Your brave. Love you more. / Darlene/

Yeah, you're right, Darlene. If you're on the top of the world, I feel as if I'm a king. The feeling is enormous, frantic, and a little of most previlege. You see all the beauty that nature gives. Everything is within your gaze. I feel a little bit pride. It's a short joy, a short live, and a short heaven. Actually, it's really lonely at the top if you're alone. It's not a good fight. The real fight of life is down below, the exciting part is the details in life. The winning and losing is down below. Going the top is victory and worthy to be called the Victor. I appreciate your views, Darlene. Love you more. /Hugo.
