Soaring to the highest vertex, My thought is fizzing to sing; Looking up the summit, My vision is capering to sing; Of chasing westing sunset, I am trekking up to sing; ‘twixt paces covered lush flora, Flank cascades are roaring to sing; Towards the bald-rounded stupa, Nimbi are scudding to sing; I ascend the peak betimes, We are all harmonizing to sing. Shall I sing to thee the last summer day? When as thy shimmer blusheth snow whiteclouds, And the cerulean sky reddeneth my way, So do I soaking with the piedmont crowds. We all have covered hectic glory might; I the forlorn one wallow in thee free, Take a phetic memoir of coming night; ‘Tis like a ritual of contempo glee. More passion is quenching my dasein ego, With or without thee, nothing lieth invain, Whenever cometh night, fever longings glow; Of thine areo-crimson I move on again. Do not beweep thy fading rasure, bereaved; Lest thine emotion conquer my wit,rereaved. Lo! Luna igniteth zenithal zeal yearningly. Adieu! Bypassing yestersummer eve. Saving our last velleity, Till Thou and I meet no more. Surrounding by the hymn of cicadas chirpand nightingales tweet, Under silver rondure corona, Mayst Thou still feel for me, tho’ alterednew? May I still find ho pontos, tho’ tiredaskew? Effing what ye are about to murmur, Retaking what I have been lost. Destiny is not something I play; Amor is not nothing I pray; Yer art not everything I stay. edited by kingjing on 8/27/2017

Overall the poem seems heavy with "dictionary words"--words that are not commonly used in conversation that the reader would probably have to look up to understand. (nimbi, piedmont, phetic, contempo, dasein, rereaved, velleity, rondure, ho pontos) I do not understand the meaning of "How sierra save the nightfall; Philomels break in.) 3x~!~
