The Meaning

I stand upon the mountain top
                   High above the mist covered valleys so far below
    The great sun slowly begins to burn its way into the sky from the east
                         The night reluctantly retreats to the west
                                             It is a beginning
 
                        I listen as the night sounds begin to quiet
                I listen as all the parts of the world begin to awake
  The changes in the flow of life float gently against the shores of the all
                            There is a sense of motion building
                                                 It continues
 
                                     I learn of the true meaning
                      I gleam understanding from nothingness
           Of the great rolling turmoil of survival and progression
                      Of the rightness in the balance of existence
                                                   It becomes
 
                         I know now of importance and solecism
                   I have learned that which is sought yet missed
      The center of what is me rejoins the center of all in perfect union
                                With each beginning a false end
                                                       It is

                               I stand, I listen, I learn, I know...........
