A LOOK OUT

On my mountain

my life drifts in and out

and I just want to stay

as forces drain energy

again and again

defiant my mood

my limbs tired

beaten and battered

but I still stand

Not always a friend

and not really an

enemy is a moment of time

but that does not matter

memories are long

sometimes forgotten

but here I stand

before you all

life a mystery and

tantalized I am

Simplicity in its finest

my roots so strong

and mind so set

with a closer look

you can see my lines

etched upon me

but within me is the key

my heart beats

it’s millionth one

and will not stop

for anyone
