Once Upon a Mountain Top

‘Sitting atop the rugged rockiness

The air vibrating with a vivid view

Of life

The hum of the wind has replaced

The electric hum of wires and the act of rushing

The raven’s wing creates its own wave on the breath

The ocean takes when

Inhaling life, exhaling life

~

I sit atop the rough rockiness

Inhaling life, exhaling life

All around me

Is a slower world

As if time has paused to take in all the wonders

Around are so many wonders

Like the reflection of rugged roughness

In the delicacy that is the ever-clear waters

~

Movement is in the form of gracefulness

From the stride of the raven across the endless blue

Or the bobbing of tug of boats resting atop the endless reflective hue

Even the chase between the lemmings, the dogs, the fish below

Is done with an understanding of grace and gratitude

Grateful for the life taken and given

Grace with the magic at the tips of toes and fins across the multitudes

Atop the land that holds with no expectations,

There are no limitations
