PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

On the way down,

the mountain grows taller behind me.

Perspective is a trickster like that.

I feel lighter, though

nothing in my pack has changed.

Only the weight of my thoughts has shifted.

At the trailhead,

I turn once more to

the looming shape above me.

The mountain says nothing.

And somehow,

that is enough.
