The Zenith

On top of the mountain, the zenith of 
          My life, my moment, the 
      Time when I thrived, so full of love
                        I was gaga

At the zenith of my dreams, as I danced
          Waltzing to the wonder,
      Echoes, light, rousing – I chanced
                         In the thunder

The zenith, where time had reminded me
          Believe the silent hope
      The abiding peace, lovely glee
                         Stirred into trope

Zenith, who encouraged me to believe
          Silencing all my doubts
      Shadows fading, never to grieve
                        Past timeouts

Zenith, who colored me in beauty, truth
          Burning away the past
      Freeing me from my long gone youth
                      Darkness contrast

Zenith, where I know the meaning beneath
          Prayers for tender grace
      Like a beautiful, faded wreath
                         Quiet embrace

The zenith alive, whispering a smile
          Reminding why I know
      The meaning of love, all the while
                        Belief aglow

It is this stardust hope, the zenith light
          Who seems to know the way
      Breaking away the black of night
                          And, we will pray
