A Mountain Speaks Poem by Albert Ahearn

I stood atop a mountain high
Surveyed the vastness of the sky
With arms extended outwardly
A moments thought inspirit me.
I pray you mount, I beg bespeak
Please share with me your grand mystique;
Bestow on me the things you know.
An echo thrice said, “No! .. No! .. No! ”
Why? I asked, disconcertingly
Meaning is all I seek, only
Please, please impart what I should know.
Again the echo, ” No! .. No! .. No! ”
Instantly it began to rain
‘Twas then my quest was all in vain.
