The Mountain

The Mountain

January 31^st, 2007-February 4^th, 2007

This one is much more mellow than 

the last one. ;)

The past is behind me,

As I walk through the cold morning

Of the ice-covered foot steps of the mountain.

I still remember all of our precious moments

But no longer do I look down at the time period

Where I was too young to recall my reasoning,

And now I’m far too bright to stress over unsettled arguments.

I’ve walked along many roads

And I have fought through many set-backs

And, I’ve come to this point on the map

But, I’ve still got a long way to go.

I start turning a corner of trees

And begin heading down the slope.

I look and see how the melting snow

Makes everything look beautiful up here.

I smell the fresh moisture

All around me

And it takes me back to…

Back to a time when I was really young…

When my worldview was much smaller,

And my attitude and actions were atrocious.

That was when I was rebellious

And all I cared about was my sexuality.

Now, all of that has disappeared

And I have re-formed with a new vision

Of life.

I’ve walked along many roads

And I have fought through many set-backs

And, I’ve come to this point on the map

And yet,  I’ve still got a long way to go.

I’ve gone up and down many hills

But never before have I had an experience like this.

Walking through this beautiful snow,

Helps me relive our memories good and bad.

No longer do I have to worry about you and your jokes,

No longer do I have to worry about offending you,

Cause right here in this peaceful moment,

I feel absolutely free from any burden.

Coming back down,

I arrive at my destination.

I’ve walked along many roads

And I have fought through many set-backs

And, I’ve come to this point on the map

But, I’ve still got a long ways to go.
