Lesser Summits Poem by Arthor Journer

Emotions rise and tears plummet
Heart in chains sentenced to climb lesser summits
Mind lost its grip on reality
Sent all to the ground a hard destiny
But without wings or parachute
The soul can’t escape gravity’s pull
Landing on its heart it lay still for a moment
Looking to the horizons for lesser summits
Mental work outs to build cerebral muscles
Books read out to obtain wisdom’s trestle
Heart is faint and short of breath
Mind is weary of falling to its death
Emotions rise and tears plummet
Soul trembling as it climbs lesser summits
