Mountain Song
(inspired by “The Poem” by Rene Dumal by Connor Garvey)
Breathe in the mountain top
the challenge is behind you and everything has stopped breathe out and feel the ground
you cannot stay forever no you have to come back down
So why climb at all why climb at all at all
Standing where you stood before
the mountain is behind you now but you feel it in your core you’re waiting to climb again
you cannon sleep now that you’ve awaken
So why climb at all why climb at all at all
You climb, you see, you climb down, you see no more the challenge beyond the climb
is how to keep the vision from fading with time because you have seen it all, you have seen it all, it all
