I climbed Mt.Fuji again this weekend. Unlike the last time, the weather was perfect and the sunrise was surreal. I am not going to write a description of the trip. Here is a quick poem that kind of sums it up! I dedicate it to my two friends who push me to do adventurous things and make me feel like bilbo!
On a moonlit sky
Onwards and upwards
My shadow and I.
We crossed the clouds
It was dark and still
The air got thinner
And strained my will.
The darkness crept
On my neck and spine
Lingered on my fingers
And numbed my mind.
But the moon got brighter
And its halo grew
So I got up to reach it
And through darkness I flew
Well my wings wern't strong
So I didn't fly very fast
But I stepped on stars
And caught the halo at last
And just as I was about
To wear the moon on my head
I was distracted by a light
Piercing, Red.
And with it came music
From the Universe's noise
A clear morning raag
In my own mother's voice
We stood at the precipice
And bathed in its glow
The sheer beauty broke me
And let my tears flow
A rock, a ball of fire
A wonderful cosmic chance
And We the infinite
Bright specks of dust!
