Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

The Mountain Top

I climbed to the top of the mountain
Overlooking majestic snowy peaks
How refreshing to see the clouds below
I am on the door step to the heavens
Or so it seems
All for saying kind words
Its so easy it feels like a  magical dream
That a smile and a kind word
Is returned one thousand fold
I say to fanatics and those so sure
Of what is right and good. or evil and wrong
Climb with me to the mountaintop
Breathe in the joy of being King for a day.
You may conquer them with your armies or terror, this is true
However, from way up high, as you gaze both below and up to the heavens
Would you not rather conquer their hearts?

Well so let me conquer you with my smile :) Arthur Vaso May 10, 2014 at 11:30 PM I am never mean, if you always feed me on time!

Lucilla Carrillo April 25, 2014 at 2:25 PM Arthur - if I was not the way I am, I would climb that mountain. I did climbed a mountain once. I was 15 years old. Something, I will never forget...
