Reaching the goal.

I long to reach the summit
of the ever growing mountain.
Dignity be damned
it’s a point of private honour.

To shout that I have made it
to echo through the peaks
to see the dusk melt o’er the snow
and sit beneath its feet.

Among the clouds of climes austere
I know not what to do,
but wonder what my God and I
can share upon the air.

    I always love your stuff, Darren. It has a sort of spiritual feel to it. Very nice.

    We all want to reach our goals but nobody could put it into poetry like you can. Beautiful work.

    This is working. The third stanza is my favourite but the whole thing rises and settles at the end.
