Quatrain of Everest Urge - 1482

Quatrain of Everest Urge

Everest - a tall mountain
a peak on the crest of the Himalayas

I climb the mountain, because of
everlasting fantasies born of
an over reaching
will,

I doggedly follow noble thirst laid
out on a trail of forgiveness
where I can't stand
still.

The ascent pulls on the desire to
fill a barrel full of fortitude I
cannot possibly
stop,

And I shall cast away any demons
and all of my ghostly loathing,
so I can reach the
top.
