Poem: The Summit of Poetry
If I climb the mountain of poetry
Every word ever uttered
In every poet’s imagination
Or through the history of poetry
Will I find something I am looking for?
Will I be satiated and seek after poetry no more?
Will I have a bowl full of tears?
Or will my heart be plastered with bandages?
Will I be an awakened being full of wisdom?
Or will I find solace in the mystical realms?
If I climb the mountain of poetry
Will I find my true love?
Will my first poem be among the rocks?
Will I succumb to depression?
Will I disappear into the darkness?
Will I go away never to return?
Will I go to sleep and never awake?
If I climb the mountain of poetry
Will I reach the summit of poetry
And bask at all the great poets’ madness
Or will I be greeted with cheers and celebration?
If I climb the mountain of poetry
Will I be released from the grip of fear
And fly away with the clouds?
Will I find that the sky is not the limit
And be one with the cosmos?
Will I find myself staring at nothingness?
Totally swallowed by the mystical poem (God)
