Assailant One

February 14, 2021
Perception is not reality Just ask The Mountain She is an illusion…

Presenting herself Like a bear on hind legs Much grander much Bigger A whole lot More terrifying.

But the mountain lies… Not One Mountain at all Many (mini) Mountains Each requiring its own Accent.

Each of a scale and Magnitude to fatigue The sojourner who seeks To run his toes through her Sands.

She is grand, but Not how she seems From a distance. From afar, un-assailable!

Yet, peel away her layers And you may find a Passage unto her loving Bosom.
