The goat and the fish

Do these mountains control my fate?
Dig in my heels to feel that strength 
Oh the Burning sunny shards 
Of a light I cant quite disregard
Wise and stupid is my resolve 
to reach the top for a gift so small 
Reach, tug, climb that cliff 
test a power you cant admit 

Trekking slowly my heart at peace?
breaking walls inside of me 
I see the goal within my grasp 
a stunning glass of philanthropy 
The fight is done, I catch my breath
To look upon the prize, I've won! 

To my surprise and some dismay 
The place in which I came to be 
Is beautiful in every way,
just not the reason I climbed today

Tired, thirsty and quite depressed
Before I journey, my mind must rest 
I found a rock, to rest my head 
kicked my hoofs and made a nest 

Drifting eyes and slurring speech 
The silent murmur of silent sleep 
Drifting further from my mind 
the deepening power of my spine 
going softer, going gone..
To a place within my mind 
I don't belong..

Open wide your dreaming eyes 
Stop that thinking of your demise 
This place you've entered 
has no hold, has no boundaries 
has no mold. in here my friend 
we think out loud, break your silence
and do not pretend. 

Who is speaking against my grain?
Why can't I see you, please explain 
Your voice is gracious like the wind 
pure and soft with no angry whim 
This dream is blurry these aren't my eyes 
Oh voice of water, wind and sky

Follow closely my tired friend 
my voice of beauty will help you mend 
For what I have, you'll come to see 
is beautiful change in diversity 

Closer now my steps are marked 
The path I've chosen I have embarked 
winds of change envelope me 
fear to break the "best of me"
Yet strong as ever, I cant turn back 
The voice of wind, has got me lax 
closer now, I see this light 
The waters edge, the end of night 

Where do I stand? What is this place? 
A flowing stream, inside of me 
A shining sun I've never seen?

Looking down, the waters deep 
swimming fast and glimmering 
Against the current, elegantly

Beautiful, small and bright 
This fish dancing in the light 
reflecting beauty all around 
The sun, the moon and even sound
memorized my eyes transfixed 
That voice of beauty sings a mix 
of melodies and harmonies 
dancing to her song 
The most beautiful anthology 
My eyes are so enthralled. 

Finally, I come to terms 
that where I stand is not quite true
Remembering my lingering
on that mountain where i'm spewed 

Kneeling down to the waters edge 
Careful not to scare.
Dreams are not reality but this 
I cannot bare. I will sit and stare 
quietly, careful not to breath 
watching dance this symphony 
Of love I can't compare. 

May I dream. May I never wake.
Less I wake to this.
