A Monk Contemplating On The Mountaintop.

A Monk Contemplating On The Mountaintop.

To climb to the top of the mountain to get a better view of oneself,

The world seems so far away and cold,

Time to look deep inside,

To find oneself,

Many the worries of the world,

Weigh heavy,

Too many things pulling the spirit in many directions,

Easy to get distracted in the material world below,

Up here on the mountain things begin to come into focus,

The longer on top the more things are revealed within,

Thinking of all the friends and family left behind,

Perhaps to the mountain wasn't the best idea,

The mind plays tricks on oneself,

Up so high and away,

Does peace ever come,

Questions fog up the mind?

Must have patience and learn to listen close,

Otherwise up here on the mountaintop was nothing,

But a waste of time,
