This Mountain Has No Summit - Killer Poetry Entry
This mountain has no summit
No peak in sight
There is no pause or respite
Only the hike
The air gets thinner
The further up you climb
The slope get steeper
Up the endless incline
Your whole body burns
And begs you to stop
But you keep on going onwards
With everything you've got
You might meet another hiker
And walk together for a time
Help keep each other going
Until your paths divide
You may slip and stumble
In the darkness lose your way
The rain may engulf you
And wash the path away
Still you climb onwards
The only way is up
There is no turning back
There is no giving up
The sunshine may find you
And shine upon your face
The gentle breeze may lift you
Lightening your pace
Then you surpass hikers
Who you knew came before
You think of all they reached
And see you can reach more
Sadness marks these miles
But joy lights up the path
You see those ahead of you
There is no turning back
This mountain has no summit
You cannot see the top
There is only the hike
Enjoy what you've got
My entry to this weeks killer poetry is inspired by the journey that is life, the point is the climb the mountain, not to get to the top. Photos by me taken while cloud walking on a mountain above Hells Mouth in wales. I love when the sky brushes the mountains and you can really touch the clouds!
Some great work here, Calluna. I really enjoyed:) And good luck in the contest:)
Congratulations on once again making our community a beautiful place. Today, mountains met me as I opened up the page. Very nice. Keep doing what you do.
