Mountain Of Words

Mountain Of Words

Vast view of our world from the mountain peak 
where we can perceive beauty of its scenery 
awes our hearts with spectacular expanse, 
but the peak where we stand is treacherous, 
susceptible to collapse from the weight 
of expectations we project through faith. 

With inspiration of projecting breath 
I decide to climb the mountain of words 
founded on ideology of insight 
to reach nirvanic height of vainless bliss 
where I perceive the wholeness of the Earth 
from treacherous peak of my analysis. 

To climb the unclimbable peak of truth 
and attain the unattainable goal, 
I transcend suffering of my hungry soul 
through extinction of distracting desire 
to expand individual consciousness 
gained through experience of ten billion lives. 

Though my soul emanates from my small brain 
so I am trapped in this body of flesh, 
I climb the mountain of words to transcend 
limiting bounds of my one consciousness 
so I envision life of every mind 
who ever lives in history of our world. 

Smoke from houses rises over broad plains 
where trees sway and hum on the river shore 
as snow drifts from clouds over mountain peaks 
to shroud sorrows of the world in calm peace, 
so I lean against my door with hot cider 
and listen to people sing in their homes. 

Bright light bulbs twinkle on houses and trees, 
gleaming warm with rainbows on long dark nights 
when people gathered around glowing hearths 
share tales of their adventures in the world 
with friends and family after years away, 
showing pictures of far lands they explored. 

Though I climb treacherous mountain of words, 
mapping ontology of my world view 
that provides framework for our anecdotes 
which illustrate lessons of life we learn, 
I savor beauty of this world I see, 
and sing about its mysteries in these spells. 

With mercurial voice of soul-haunting truth 
I join world choir of reverent storytellers 
and sing unending epic of our quest 
to climb the mountain of words to its peak 
and sing about creation of our world 
that flares forth from first flash of the big bang.
