The View from the Summit

The View from the Summit

It’s been a grueling sojourn to the mountaintop;

Can you remember when your ascent began?

You ached and bled to leave that daunting base

In your wake and will the summit into reality,

And here you now are… planting your victory flag.  

Embrace the sweeping landscape of your success

But stop for only a moment, for aurulent stars

Are within your grasp and a new adventure awaits.

Projecting in my mind’s eye

Through sentimental filters,

Bogus Capra-fication

Of underwhelming events.

Cinematic reflections;

More compelling, I suppose,

But what, then, is real

In our art-house memories…

And can “genuine” compare?

Misty tangerine

Explosions in onyx clouds…

A storm’s rolling in.
