Here, on Top of A Mountain

Poems from on high

“Traveler 4” by the author.

here
on top of a mountain
i cannot see any of those issues, friend
those slights
or insurmountable problems
that rule your day

i cannot see your enormous house
or what car you drive in
i don’t see your friends
or those annoying neighbors
or even your children

here
on top of a mountain
everything made by man
can be obliterated by my outstretched thumb

you can keep acting
like all you have wrought
has been of monumental importance
but know for certain
time’s thumb
will stretch from the eye of the sun
and that shadow will take it all away

so come
ascend with me
and find a new perspective
of circular awareness
where all the noise of man
dissolve into this peak’s Silence
