About the Poem
Sometimes, no matter how painful, you have to accept that you're facing a boulder and can't get around it.
A Mountain Separates Us |
| by Wendy LaTulippe |
| Hovering overhead in a wisp of obscurity, The ghost of what transpired between us Sinks into cold gray crevices. Echoes of what you once were to me, (Or lesser, what I was to you), Reverberate about the stonecold mass. Lover's refrain twists to funeral dirge, Cherished words a mournful requiem, Whipped in frenzy in howling terrains. A sickness creeps over you, and I Cringe and shrink from it's overspill. While climbing the jagged edge, And taking me, your foothold, for granted, A lesson was lost. Love is not only for summits and successes, It should permeate every breathless, tested, aching Crag along the way. I cannot be your sherpa, nor your loyal beast. When you peak it will be alone, I gave up and camped in solitude, The glow from that little stove the most warmth I've felt in an eternity of futile trekking. |
