Volcano

By R. Cary

I have been waiting for this journey. 22 years in the making.

Halfway up. I have almost arrived. A rumbling. A growling,

A Thunder rages beneath this terrain. Only upwards I know

This eruption to arrive. A volcano of ash waiting, not wanting

To leave its ashes on this earth. Into my mind, further I have

Now arrived. In this journey is truth. In this mountain I will

Live crushing eternal molten seeking to destroy; imploding,

Reaching the top, only one choice to give. I show no fear as

I leap into the burning glare, a metaphor for our lives to face

What rests deep within, above, willing to face the crevasses of

Our lives with the dignity of blind belief no matter what our fears.

In every step, I will only seek that which requires purity of my faith.

End
