On Top Of The World

To press upward
And rise above the world
Is to gain a new perception
On a summit of infinite height
To sacrifice
To feel the pain
The chill that burns
The purpose, plain
To see the world above the sky
Amidst the top where the sun lies
Upon the place where God himself looks down
To gaze upon us all
And as my flesh cries NO
My soul whispers, yes
With longing I'll begin my quest
With dreams and baggage yet in hand
To journey to a distant land
And accomplish what Ive dreamed of
Or to sleep forever and dream no more
I hear their cries
along the path
I see the corpses
Remnants of a mountains wrath
With life comes success
With death, defeat
And my dreams, 29,035 vertical feet
Yet I must press on, I must keep climbing
Beloved mountain
Sacred sky
To the ceiling of the world I'll climb
A treacherous beast who holds no wealth
Yet at the top I find myself

Oh, to climb Everest. You'd feel on top of the world!
Yet, I also sense a second sub-text about the limits of flesh and the need to know what it is to be a soul, able to travel without the fear or death or the bounds of gravity.
Thanks for posting.
4 out of 5 for me
