The Meaning

I stand upon the mountain top High above the mist covered valleys so far below The great sun slowly begins to burn its way into the sky from the east The night reluctantly retreats to the west It is a beginning I listen as the night sounds begin to quiet I listen as all the parts of the world begin to awake The changes in the flow of life float gently against the shores of the all There is a sense of motion building It continues I learn of the true meaning I gleam understanding from nothingness Of the great rolling turmoil of survival and progression Of the rightness in the balance of existence It becomes I know now of importance and solecism I have learned that which is sought yet missed The center of what is me rejoins the center of all in perfect union With each beginning a false end It is I stand, I listen, I learn, I know...........
