The Summit View

For long days
I climbed
over aged mountain
I climbed
as majestic stone
shifted to unsuspecting
below, in snow
I climbed
for long days
from long days
I climbed
out from crater earth
and dormant volcano
I climbed
for days, I longed
a view I'd never know
I longed for days
far from days
without rest
days without  
my mind
I climbed
blind to Quest
my labor brought me
long days, such long days
I cried
in regions of snow
I cried
for ice cracked iris
with no hope to grow
I shy
from long days
 
I climb
