The Great Ascent

January 27, 2015

Echo, Repeat, Echo

At the ledge of the valley

I scream, I plead, I yell

but my words return to me void

I keep on searching

Climb, Ascend, Climb

At the mountain bottom

I scratch, I kick, I crawl

I reach the mountain peak but its not there

I keep on searching

Rustling, Blowing, Rustling

At the depths of the forest

I navigate, I listen, I search

but the farther I go I realize it must be hidden

I keep on searching

Crash, Slam, Crash

At the edge of the sea, watching the waves

I pilot, I plan, I plot

but the waves are relentless and do not stop

I keep on searching

Blistering, Baking, Burning

In the heat of desert

I strive, I stress, I struggle

but the heat is remorseless

I keep on searching

Horns, Lights, Noise

In the mist of the large downtown city

I direct, I maneuver, I drive

but the demands are never ending

I keep on searching

Awaken, Alert, Awaken

In the mirror I stand

I glare, I stare, I am finally aware

and realize the answer is right there

Happiness.......is found, He lives in me!
