the_mountain_top Dafremen (Dirt) r.dafremen Hit the mountain top Reached the pinnacle and petered Fettered there Left behind the wings that somehow o'er the ages Taught and brought me there Shed the skin for scrolls of old Fed the bought and borrowed one On inner peace instead Leave me! Be me! What you want me to be...me Willingly free me to see me Gleefully teasing Beyond this slim composure Failing then fleeing This depth of heights unmeasured You cannot count The tokens of the toll Who cannot feel The bleating of my soul? The numbing of its cold, hard way? The crumbling of this mountain stay This peak of foolishness? Accursed day melts Exposing blessed night The frightening spectacle of who I was and am The lightening gave way to what I couldn't understand I ran..run I run and stand Behind the shadow of my conviction "I am!" I shout But doubt that I know anything at all Not anything at all So called enlightenment No wisdom here I fear Just apparitions come and went Their wisdom spent upon a fool upon his knees A flea, a mite, a mote, a man Ran to the mountain top on wings and strings attached Upon a puppet's hand Up to the mountain top The monastery's shadow laughing all the while Laughing, then it smiles and scowls at my unworthiness At this scrap of dauntlessness come calling Blown upon its kiss then falling down Falling down "Know your worth, dirt. Kiss the earth Know of your birth, dirt. Tumble down and ever after know that you are small" I felt its loamy call So very very small I am So very very small And know I cannot stand Can only crawl, only crawl up to Then fall down from the mountain top. 031101 ... from now on i want to get over my fear and i want to be strong 041020 ... somenom maybe i will climb 050601 ...
