I Came Upon the Mountain

by Mark Stellinga
Source: Phonetical Imagery (2004)

I came upon a mountain of a great and stately
size
How high I could not tell the top was hidden in the
skies.

It rose so very rapidly, 'twas truly quite profound.
This was the kind of mountain that most souls
would go around.

But, unlike most, a new and untamed wilderness
I seek
The thought of finding something new and fresh
upon the peak

Drew me toward the awesome world that waited
for my mind,
But none could have imagined all the wonders I
would find.

As I embarked I pondered what a man might come
to learn.
I wondered, would I reach the top, or, would I not
return.

Plainly, I returned, and yes, I made it to the top.
Though often nearly giving up, I'm glad I didn't stop.

As hard as it can sometimes be to do what we
would choose.
If no attempt is made to win,
we can but only lose.
