Mountain climbing

 
I went to the mountain
praying upon knees
my wishes
be granted to me
favored lucky humbled son
audacity to ask
the mountain loomed
requiring I soothe
stretched out my strings
acoustic style peace
with seduction inlaid
the mountain did sigh
gratified
but set out the warning
with each wish I had cried
one you will get
but this life
you must commit
the second you set
is the worthiest yet
take your time, learn
make it your quest
this third I must confess
dear boy,
you will have to sweat
for bleak as it may seem
there will be
truth in this dream
Your days will wander
and so much you, shall ponder
wondering
are you worthy
on your very word
i have now heard
to focus energy
in the care of this
life revelry
when last
you think you've tried
wait for the heavens
to hand you the sky
these dreams
are but worthy
of lifes great journey
so be gone now son
and leave this mountain alone
i packed up and left
finally taking a breath
as a captain at sea
starting my journey
the young man that was me
