Mountain Image Poem by Barry Middleton

upon a mountaintop in Spain
I pondered on a mystery
for I had never sailed the sea
how could this mountain come to be

it must have been a book I read
some vision that had come to me
a spider web where dreams are spun
a drunken elf upon a spree

imagination is a gift
a blessing from infinity
the crazed confusion of a giant
a mystic cloud's divinity

so how I came to be in Spain
is hidden on this mountaintop
beyond the clouds and stars and moon
where dreams and dreamers finally stop
