When one recalls they’ve only this one day; this moment here and now,
Grabbing their keys, kids, snacks and hearing their favourite motor roar,
May just be an ideal way to reconnect with themselves and their inner light,
As the world beyond vanishes into the dust - uplifting one’s soul from dull to soar,
Amongst the blur of blue, grey, green and dusty red whilst the sky be as clear as the air is fresh,
And one knows ’tis a guaranteed adventure that for the next few moments shall be in store!
Hence when reaching the foot of a mountain; taking a deep breath one ventures on,
Wheel turn by wheel turn inclining through the bushland never knowing what the next bend shall bring,
For the higher one goes in this moment the quieter unnecessary thoughts cease to belong,
As driving up a mountain demands focussed attention irrespective the views and how the energetics may sing,
Yet deep in one’s gut still may lie a reminder of many a thing that could go wrong,
‘Till one surrenders to the way of the mountain in this moment - trusting and releasing,
Ultimately knowing in your heart and soul up here one’s either repelled or for now allowed go on.
Thus one inches ever closer the mountains peak with the awe inspiring grasping in your throat,
Low clouds start hiding all around akin an eerie blanket one physically cannot lift,
A near paranormal slew of thoughts swim about in your mind to waver your perception and gloat,
Whilst the wheels keep turning you along the track beyond your scattering mental rift,
Grounding you back into the task at hand upon which one needs to adequately dote,
‘Fore chaos can grasp in aspects no one ever intentionally wants to drift…
Soon enough you’re venturing beyond the cloud cover into the near blinding light of day,
This successful drive to the mountains physical summit mirroring one’s internal win,
As knowing through breath what one intended has manifested smoothly in it’s way,
Irrespective the not so seraphic mental moments creating their mildly challenging din,
One has navigated the seen and unseen to be here in natures sublimely aligning foray,
Leaving the descending journey lying as an unacknowledged thought yet to subsequently begin.
