I stand atop a Mountain!

I stand atop a Mountain

I stand atop a mountain and I see the world,
I do not deny that there is shadow
I admit that darkness veils my eyes
I see and feel pain, loss, fear, anxiety, disappointment
I taste the bitter salt of tears on the air
I wince and recoil and shut my eyes
Safe in my own mind
I hide from the suffering
Reassured by the steadfast blankness,
Away from the unpredictable troubles of the world.

My eyes open
It happens suddenly, I gasp, stunned
The veil is gone and I can see
I see the people each walking along their own paths
Each path intertwining with countless others
I see the world that is, I see the truth
The walkers of life reaching out
A shoulder to cry on,
An arm to lean on,
A friend to count on.

I smile and my eyes fill
Sweet tears of joy flow in rivulets down my cheeks
Yet my vision is not blurred
I still see life, I still see the people
The truth, the hope, the care, the goodness, the love.

The sun climbs up over the mountain
And rises behind me
I stand atop a mountain and I see the world
Reassured by the shining light.

What do you all think? Wrote this quite a while ago but thought I'd post it

A shoulder to cry on,
An arm to lean on,
A friend to count on.
