Mountains to Scale

Wanted to climb that mountain

It’s rugged terrain proved a worthy opponent

Exhilaration at the summit!

I can just imagine it.

Wading through pools of duties and emotions unsorted

I must save that mountain for another day.

Summits and steep climbs summon, sure to supply spectacular sport

Right now reality reminds

Each mountaintop endures…

Shadowy valleys and mediocre hills

Mundane and mucky meandering must manifest

Is it not the ordinary that prepares one for the ethereal?
