Into the light
blinded by a darkness of distractions and noise
always striving, hoping for something beyond.
longing to scale down,
shed the layers
desperate —
for silence.
so once again, i head out into my beloved mountains
to find peace in their serenity
and be reminded
of that which matters.
only this time i swear
i will open my eyes
to the bright and unfiltered beauty of life.
yes, i can feel it now
i’m catching up with the horizon
where i will retrieve my long lost shadow
ready —
to come into the light.
