Pinnacle - For François Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

Pinnacle - For François

Rating: 5.0


After the arduous climb
from the morning valley below

this, the crest of light
this, the ultimate glow.

The frozen-blue faraway pines
humbly relinquish the sun.

Laughter recedes to the sound
of darkness coming in.

Above the emptying slope
a silent ascent of stars

from the deep earth’s core
the heart echoes back the night.
