Way Out In the Mountains

2/16/16


Experienced easy and hard times
During the days and nights as millons upon billions of stars shined


Way out in
The mountains

Inspiration was founded
While the sky was clouded

I finally understood the truth
When I was no longer a youth
I always respected my own and others roots
While I was in pursuit
Of things of use
Despite all the spoofs
I went above the roof


When advice from an elder was offered and given
I paid attention and listened
Because I always respected their wisdom
And wanted to help the ecosystem
Despite the amounts of schisms
My spirits had risen
And I continued on with the mission

The accumulation of water helped it pool up
It was clearly obvious that so many fools bluff
As far too many continued to ridicule stuff

I focused on being a better person, while trying to do and improve much
So I could learn and gain experience, and make sure the decisions I choose were just
Even though, sometimes when you lose its tough
