Certain People and Poems Resemble Mountains, Ever Drawing Closer to a Communion with the Real Self

 

Mountain summits are hallowed

singular places of soul alchemy,

places for calm repose and rest

past the winding laborious climb.

 

There, on mountain summit heights

one may earn a gift, an elysian tap,

a coup d’œil, a stroke of divine eye

that enlivens and purifies of dust

 

and rust both mind and even soul

or when unique moments come

akin to these lonely craggy crowns

 

and offer sudden summaries of all,

laid out to be grasped—and if not,

life stays sunk in the errors of its fog.
