‘Mountain’
Climbing through my soul, wished for you today to be
Near my heart, but you were not there for you to save me.
Steeped aside a ridge, I felt your breath return in my ears
To prove myself worthy a love on terra firma and it’s tears.
Snow has whitened the fall of soot I saw in your eyes the day
My journey took, and the chimney sagged a sigh, little to say.
Bruised in time, a forgotten lily, hurt through despair and lame
My legs to carry me further, farther than any son of Britain.
Come to me sweet, and feel my pain in flower’s for a brave soul
Washed in the six deep, bringing my waiting carcass to a home.
I said: ” no more my place here to hide, full fantasy and brine
Cleansing spirits light in azure blue, and all the saints divine”.
So I fling myself, and so wide it be, what sound, what view
And all for me again to see my pals, and bear my head too.
Merry cleansing in thought, breathing clouds of love, to look
At you in the distance, be there for all time, with some luck.
