To Being

November 06, 2024 - less than a minute read

A Defiant Mountain

To summit the top of the mountain
To regain the title of best
To reach forth into darkness
And leap out into what is unseen

I am the beast out from which
A humbless and thorny declaration
Split atom and ear
I am here

To blow like the wind as it howls
To strike at the girdle of the enemy
To fly like the birds that unzip the clouds
And soar into the sunset

From a small hop
Thus become a sharp drop
With this satisfactorily
I am without the detractively

To become like gods
To see farther and clearer than before
To steer life’s ships through the waves
And slay mystical behemoths that get in my ways

To be me
To being more of me
