I Would Climb The Highest Mountain Poem by Mark Heathcote

I would climb the highest Mountain
I would join those Mountain cowmen
I would go to the Himalayas today,
Please don't send me away.

For you, my love my messiah
I would catch a slow boat to China
& walk every step of the way
& lay prostrate and pray.

For you my love I would fast
Under the stars unsurpassed
I would dream & imagine a cry
My name called & you stood nearby.

Love, so why am I sent away
Why are you so distant faraway
Have I reached a Himalayan Peak?
Why has everything turned out so bleak?

When once I could touch the sky
& brush the clouds and storms away.
I would climb the highest Mountain
Dear, what is our final, outcome?
