The Way

The path winds along the mountain.
Thinking only of the destination
Our feet move with purpose.
Expectations grow with each step.

Our life path winds along the mountain
Our life is the path, the journey,
The view our daily gift.
Listen to the mountain music.

Great imagination. This reminds me of Cezanne and his mountain. I love the mountain as symbol also. Love, daver

Very nice, Barbara! Reminds me of the saying, "Life is a journey, enjoy the ride." We would all do well to "Listen to the mountain music" as we move forward "with purpose."
