The Mountain
Radiancy entrapped
Locked away and sealed
Hidden in the horizon
Rarely to be revealed
Mountains that touch the sky
And are as treacherous as they appear
Provide a menacing barricade
Formed over a thousand years
Ventures up are sure to fail
Ascending is just pretending
For a hope that high
Can leave one dry
With an impending
And bitter ending
Fearing not the depths of darkness
Should the top never be reached
But oh the jubilance one could feel
If only to get a peek
But force one step too many
And never see that glow
For rejection by the mountain
Leaves one swallowed by the abyss below
