Below are the remains of fallen rock
Above lies nothing but sky
Up the mountain I went
Until there was no more ascending stone
Without a break or rest I climbed
After the struggle lies beauty and accomplishment
Beyond were massive hills and endless sky
Between lay a flowing brown river
Without anything on top of me
Apart from the world I stand
Off to the right lays imminent death
Through the woods lays the path back home
Except there's nothing to life anymore
Without reality I stand and absorb the warmth
Underneath such beauty
On top of a vast land of stress
Despite my rough path
Because of this experience
Off into the distance goes reality
