Summit Poem by yoonoos peerbocus

Summit

Rating: 4.9


To wish a life without the slant upward
is to wish a dim life
without the excitement of rising
without effort, just jostling

on the shore.To climb is to experience
the ascent itself-in all its moments
of revelations-the heart-break, the fatigue,
the peak within, the footprints

left by so many civilisations,
how co-hikers grow thinner and thinner
until you are the only alpinist. You see
something of your own soul in the plants,

animals and birds that no museums
could hold what nature so effortlessly
creates.That many paths lead to the top
but there's only one summit-love, is

the epiphany.

Love is indeed the highest summit of life that one needs to sacrifice and endure the pain of trials in the name of love.....10+++

Enjoyed reading and the comparisons of nature to life. Yet, in the end love endures everything as we all fade away.

You see something of your own soul in the plants, animals and birds that no museums could hold what nature effortlessl creates. Many paths lead to the top but there's only one summit-love, is the epiphany. Truely great thoughts. The imageries of summit, alpinist, peak etc are excellent....10

If there are no trials and tribulations, life would be dull indeed. We need to be always searching confronting problems to become the best. Mohabeer Beeharry

Man is driving climb to reach above his place to reach summit, but nothing one reaches is as important as finding love.
