alone again
clouds chase clouds
across the sky
tapping walking stick –
under the wanderer's feet
the mountain moves
walking stick tapping –
under the wanderer's feet
the mountain moves
lending voices—
a scrim of mountains
and my steps louder
in a light rain
Willmore Wilderness Park
where we trail our past
majestic beauty
illuminating the dawn…
tribute to nature
Metamorphosis
Of a spirit ascending
Apotheosis
on light peaks of hope
far into infinity
mystical yearnings
towards the zen peak
of human endeavours …
solitary man
this rough footing
a mountain stream jumps
from note to note
an endless mountain
propping up the summer sky
traces of footsteps
parting clouds
a view of the summit
i didn't reach
holding off
a stiff challenge—
white clouds
stray ant
traversing my knuckles
a puff – gone
azure sky
a great journey
up the hill
I listen to my loneliness
the echoes of step after step
Coming of Spring invites me
Little though I am
To scale the mountain again
dare I walk between two worlds
a knife edge on my feet
dare I choose among those worlds
or find myself a seat
Solitary sky path,
Approaching light on earthen feet
Trees give way to stars & wind
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.
@haiku_america
found my moving stair
on a high ridge where it all
sheers off
so close to the peak
my journey
continues
just before the summit
jagged peaks
pierce my fear
close to the summit
the view
turns inward
your memory
carried with me
to the clouds
beyond my window
the accumulated years
in stones I've thrown
foot steps
on sliding shale
reaching the sky
behind the peak
I'm walking towards
another peak
solo walk to the peak
a poem
with no words
sweet therapy
in this mountain air
I release
all my demons
into the echo
the sky begins
where the trail ends–
home
upheaval
leading to the pinnacle
all falls away
mountain hiker
travelling along the spine
tingles
climbing the mountain
from the bottom
my head in the clouds
Almost there,
The remaining steps
I will not climb
But
Ascend
peak condition still something to look forward to
The gentle sloping climb to the top
to find there is yet another peak ahead.
a climber
approaches the apex …
using backbone
before fading
into distant blues
just once
baring me
to myself
—kashinath karmakar (kash poet)
before fading

myself

mountain climbing …
my spirit ascends
before I do
a date with summer sky–
the mountain sheds
its snow -white parka
good one! (Y)
downhill climb…
but I had touched
the clouds
good one! (Y)
Anitha Varma
alone
stone and bone
never alone
wilderness peak
hoping to find myself
at the top
so this is the
rest of
Canada
goddess, your halo
awes mortal insects to praise-
a voice roars inside
Look at his dreams
after all
a little speck
Correction
Look at his dreams
afterall
a speck

climbing uphill —
I do not count
my footprints
walking that fine line
between brilliant and insane
keep to the path
hilltop —
I hold on to clouds to land
on moon
daybreak . . .
my heart beats louder
that usual
Kala Ramesh
a steady climb —
all my dreams dissolve
into vapour
steep trail
my footsteps
lighter and lighter
daybreak . . .
my heart beats louder
than usual
My previous submission had a typo.
Corrected it here!! (Thanks to Kash poet!)
dusty road
winds along the flank
of the mountain..
walking the length
of the earth' spine –
soon the clouds
as he walks
way ahead of me
he becomes my mantra
shifting shadows–
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?

reaching one peak_and finding another_and another_and another_life is reaching not _arriving
I walk onward to
infinity: endless blue
beckons me to fly
swished sand ?
the heard traceless
my only footseps
buddha's mountain
the path to the summit well-worn
only partway up

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!
Bright but cold,
Alive but barren,
I walk alone.

I keep climbing
but never reach
the sky
jealous of your soul-
searching the altitude
without commotion
Who was watching
over you? What a sky
to say you saw, once.
from a distance
the world looks blue –
windswept footprints
