Mountaineering</p>

Yesterday I stood on your head</br>
Looking down down at your descent</br>
Today I came back to your foot</br>
Wondering at my ascent</p>

I led my self up to you</br>
With packets of desires and whys</br>
Were you unsurmountable</br>
Could you be a cross to bear</br>
Would my feet find you compatible</br>
Could you teach the truth</br>
And chuckling, I would be to happy</br>
To find lice on your bushy head!</p>

How you stood unperturbed</br>
Jogging to your feet</br>
Jumping over streams that cool</br>
Your virulent lines</br>
Singing heartily to sinking earthly worries</br>
Am I not heaven bound</p>

Snaking through shining path</br>
Trampling farms</br>
Climbing and crawling</br>
Scampering reptiles that scared us</br>
Still struggling,</br>
Tired!...the cry for water</br>
Ascension is not a rosy affair...</p>

Still you stood unfeeling</br>
Even these millions of feet</br>
Couldn't gear your countenance</br>
Going through holes</br>
Soo cool - was that your nostril</br>
Passing through nocturnes abode</br>
To scorching rays of light</p>

Still we climbed and you stood still</br>
We held your twiggy hairs</br>
Asking for support</br>
We rested under boulders</br>
Unmindful of stealthy reptiles</br>
Our mouth, sick of water and hearty songs</br>
This road to ascension..........</p>

Our faces wrought in a mixture (contused)</br>
Of anticipation, tiredness and helplessness</br>
We forgot you are taciturn in our tiredness</br>
We only saw the tiger in you</p>

It was our hot blood that first sensed it</br>
The fresh air from your bushy head</br>
Pumped our eagerness\</br>
Alas the last lap!</br>
We trudged to your head</br>
What bald! no wonder your hind hair was bushy!</br>
Do not worry we shall be gentle</br>
We wont give you a headache</br>
Now that our feet are planted firmly on you</br>
We had a nice view of earthly surroundings</br>
Quickly forgetting the ascent, we discussed</br>
Earthy matters in heaven tone</br>
When you are up don't you see matter better</br.
Than those below?</p>

Your fluffy hair is gray</br>
Are you not immortal</br>
Oh what of thes seepages</br>
Do you urinate from your head</br>
I dare not pinch your steepy nose</br>
Lest I slip off.</p><a href="http://angelfire.com/oh4/forme">Back to my Homepage</a>
