Longing for the Mountain - Martin Wiles

To yonder mountain—

snowbound and frozen stiff,

I turned a longing eye,

yearning to be where it seemed I might not go.

No joy, no thrill, no peace—

but, alas, on the rugged lonesome peak

there would be all three and more;

my life would there mold a resounding whole.

No regard had I for my current estate—

no love for the daily affairs at hand.

Only an ache for what was not mine,

for things I could not touch or hold.

Then the mountain turned dark and dim—

All light forever vanished from sight.

Fearfully, around and about and above I glared,

And calmly discovered all I might need or want.
