Metamorphosis
Of a spirit ascending
Apotheosis
May 18th, 2013 at 1:07 am
on light peaks of hope
far into infinity
mystical yearnings
May 18th, 2013 at 1:19 am
towards the zen peak
of human endeavours …

this rough footing
a mountain stream jumps
from note to note
May 18th, 2013 at 8:27 am
an endless mountain
propping up the summer sky
traces of footsteps
May 18th, 2013 at 10:29 am
parting clouds
a view of the summit
i didn't reach
May 18th, 2013 at 1:57 pm
holding off
a stiff challenge—
white clouds
May 18th, 2013 at 6:36 pm
stray ant
traversing my knuckles
a puff – gone
May 19th, 2013 at 8:27 am
azure sky
a great journey
up the hill
I listen to my loneliness
the echoes of step after step
May 20th, 2013 at 9:02 am
Coming of Spring invites me
Little though I am
To scale the mountain again
May 20th, 2013 at 1:46 pm
dare I walk between two worlds
a knife edge on my feet
dare I choose among those worlds
or find myself a seat
May 21st, 2013 at 6:16 am
Solitary sky path,
Approaching light on earthen feet
Trees give way to stars & wind
May 21st, 2013 at 8:39 am
write a poem for me
he asks—so close
to the knife's edge

May you climb higher
Passing peaks of pain, climbing
Into the clear sky.

found my moving stair
on a high ridge where it all
sheers off
May 23rd, 2013 at 9:35 am
so close to the peak
my journey
continues
May 23rd, 2013 at 11:51 am
just before the summit
jagged peaks
pierce my fear
May 23rd, 2013 at 12:58 pm
close to the summit
the view
turns inward
May 24th, 2013 at 3:59 am
your memory
carried with me
to the clouds
May 24th, 2013 at 7:40 am
beyond my window
the accumulated years
in stones I've thrown
May 24th, 2013 at 6:44 pm
foot steps
on sliding shale
reaching the sky
May 25th, 2013 at 2:25 am
behind the peak
I'm walking towards
another peak
May 25th, 2013 at 9:57 am
solo walk to the peak
a poem
with no words
May 26th, 2013 at 8:06 pm
sweet therapy
in this mountain air
I release
all my demons
into the echo
May 26th, 2013 at 10:05 pm
the sky begins
where the trail ends–
home
May 27th, 2013 at 1:50 am
upheaval
leading to the pinnacle
all falls away

May 27th, 2013 at 3:49 pm
climbing the mountain
from the bottom
my head in the clouds
May 27th, 2013 at 4:32 pm
Almost there,
The remaining steps
I will not climb
But
Ascend
May 28th, 2013 at 7:35 am
peak condition still something to look forward to
May 28th, 2013 at 8:11 am
The gentle sloping climb to the top
to find there is yet another peak ahead.
May 29th, 2013 at 3:10 am
a climber
approaches the apex …
using backbone
May 29th, 2013 at 3:27 am
before fading
into distant blues
just once
baring me
to myself

a date with summer sky–
the mountain sheds
its snow -white parka

my footprints
June 8th, 2013 at 9:30 am

between brilliant and insane

my journey mingles with
patches of cloud

memories
of "mountains"
down-sized dreams

The Seeker
Oh!
The view from the top was grand!
For me, however
There was such a thrill
In the climb!
Is there a higher peak?

Mountain, Climbing Man
The back ridge shivers as they climb,
And tickles old man mountain.
It creeps up one stone at a time.
Pebbles dribble here,
A rock slide wheezes there.
At last he sneezes at the pass,
"Avalanche", to all who dare!
June 22nd, 2013 at 8:17 am
Bright but cold,
Alive but barren,
I walk alone.

Who was watching
over you? What a sky
