Mountain Man

You ascend up high,
reaching the peak,
showing off that fine physique.

You find your freedom in the climb,
forget all the chaos in your mind.

You’re strong.
You’re confident.
You flash that smile.
You feel at peace
but just for a while.

The high is over and down you come,
returning to the Fearful One.
The pain...
The worries...
The complexities.
But you’re so much more than what you believe.

Your gift in life is who you are...
Creative, motivated, genuine and kind.
Sensitive, caring, honest and true.
Care not what others project on you.

Carry your high back down to the ground.
Hold it tight, don’t make a sound.
You’ve conquered the peak, you will conquer much more.
Quiet your mind, find strength in your core.
Smile your smile and live on that high.
Spread your wings wide and let yourself fly!
