In The Distance

A distant mountain doesn't call

It simply is

And will be for long

You desire to climb

Or see

Or shake

Has no relevance on

Whether or not

The mountain with each morning wakes

We as humans set mountains up to be

Such wondrous things

Not for what they are

But for what they show us

From the peak

And knowing that

Sometimes

Is enough for me

I have climbed enough already I find

Though I wouldn't pass up a beautiful sight

If given the opportunity (to fly)
