To reach peace and contentment
To the western mountains he went
Walking onward several a spring day
Enjoying the ever rising pathway.

A hill would rise before him
Cresting in the wind
Then the pathway would descend
Partway down the other side
Where just steps did hide
The journey’s morn not then spied.

Twist of path from origin
Now obscured from him
Fading from his memory,
Slowly, so slowly,
As he stepped away from friends,
As the past would end
Allowing the future days
To control his ways.

Gloom
