embracing the sublime . . .

embracing the sublime . . .

before me stood a Mountain
i knew i had to climb
for the Valleys that were in my life
have passed beyond sublime

there was another journey
in that Mountain that stood before me
let me begin this holy ascent
that i may come to see

the landscapes of my bleakness
and all the lessons learned
i knew there was so much more
for that Fire within still burns

so i gathered all my fortitude
to face this climb ahead
the taxing of this quest to climb
affirms i’m yet not dead

that it’s self is a blessing
for change in life must come
i am just so thankful, yes
that the Valley is not my Sum

and neither is one Mountain
i pray there’s many more
for richness of life is in the journey
not about the score

so . . .

before me stands a Mountain
an this is not the first time
many Valleys more i hope to see
as i embrace my sublime

embracing the sublime . . .
