Doing What You Promised

I closed the door from the cheers of hearing love and applause from my brethren as they smile dearly at one another.

Gently the door grasped the opposite side of its latch, and then, proceeding slowly forward and upward towards the silence of the mountain above the clouds.

Dew brushed my cheeks and hairs passing through the stormy humidity and I continued on my way to the destination, in that I promised, I would travel.

Not knowing what the heart of the primal force was going to speak, but forward went I, into the heights of responsibility.

And grasping hands singing together in grand glorious jubilee was not my part in the grand ceremony

But, to listen to the whispers tingling mysterious messages that linger momentarily in the wind, should I hear witnesses of enemy forces declaring war on mankind.

My heart skipped five beats, gasping for air in a breath, because what is life if one’s breath is removed and time continues forward and doesn’t stop for one moment.

And, what if joy found is buried in the sand?
And, is life, if lived, on a mountaintop alone?
Pray tell me, what is best to know…
Truths or fictions in a universe of unknowns…

And only hope exists for all those who choose
One more breath of life to watch the trees
To know of secrets found only in bees
To sleep at night and only dream
Good things dear mind

Now take me there
Peace and happiness
The place I seek.
