I climbed a weary mountain
And at the summit took a rest
But as I sat there I began
To feel a weight upon my chest
“Climb higher,” said the mountain
I said, “How can that be?
I have climbed unto thy very peak”
The mountain said, “You’ll see”
So I climbed higher up the mountain
Till there was no more mount to climb
I climbed on for eternity
To the very end of time
Still the mountain whispered in my ear
“You’ve not yet reached my peak”
As days wore on I climbed and climbed
Till the mountain ceased to speak
I looked down upon the air
On which I’d build my path
And as I stood looking at nothing
I heard the mountain laugh
“I’ve tricked you” said the mountain
“This mountain is too tall”
And as the mountain laughed and laughed
He let go and let me fall
I'm not depressed, by the way. I'm actually rather happy! I just love when friends make me happy :) So, anyone feel like guessing what this poem means? A prize to the person that gets it right...
