Top Of The Mountain Poem by Black Consciousness Poetry BCP

Power is the ability to define phenomena
and make it act in a desired manner

Flowers start from seeds and can grow in plethora
I admire the pattern

Every time I look at the mountain top
My heart stops

I revere it
as it stands tall and proud in the distance
If only I could be it

I wonder if it sees I
Should I tell it of I ambition would it believe I
Steadfast in its foundation
but as calm as a sea breeze
To conquer it would please I

To feel its rugged edges cut into I hard working hands
Relentless in their desire to be great
Essential is the desire for first place
I only competition I see it in the mirror
as I and I look in each others eyes
Man to man
Face to face

To hold tight to dear life itself as I look down staring death in the face
To never try would be too safe and know I place
Faith sets the foot holds
I tie I shoelace
While fear sets traps so that I may not know escape
Nothing to nourish I but the very fire I was born with
Every time I think I must retire I find more of it
Whatever is in this mountains tectonic plate
Was built into I very template
You can not segregate I from it
You can not replicate this love of it
To imagine it
is the same as if I've done it

The wind gets colder as the air grows thinner
This test will require I to go inner
Knees buckle under the this turmoil and pressure
Reverse psychology makes I see it lighter than feathers

Farther than ever before
Til every muscle is sore and tore from the chore
I pray I knees never meat the floor
The fire within keeps pumpin from my core
More more more
I'll Make sure I settle the score

You'd think I had a vendetta against this great rock
Like it looks down at I and mocks
Like everyday I sit winding I clock
And fiend for revenge

This however is not the case
Far from it

I respect it
I see it as a representation of what I can do

Should time grant me test that's true
Should I overcome it
I think I could become it

Ill step on that summit
Just yet

Young.
