| UP HILL At the bottom of the hill… What’s the use? Who cares... Clouds up there, blocking any possible view... Couldn’t see if I was there, too tired to move... Frozen in time and space Ah! It’s that damn mountain in the way It shouldn't be there Big enough bomb, no mountain! No trees dropping leaves No loud irritating birds dropping... No goody two shoes bothering... Let’s blow it all up. Really seems time is slow today Perhaps if I move slowly... So I start up the hill Damn rocks and weeds! Higher now, closer to the top Perhaps there is a top, probably not Maybe there will be daylight Ugh! It cold up here! Closer to the top now The clouds are vanishing The sun’s starting to shine Maybe rising doesn’t have to hurt Well, it’s done! I'm at the top Clear as a bell in every direction Visible for miles and miles What a nice day! Something great to share! Moving from the bottom The bottom of I don’t care Frozen in nowhere. To taking some action Getting somewhere. Maybe communicate! Communicate the beauty to others Trying to pull others up the mountain. If only they’ll listen If only they’ll read How will I know? Good advice, Will they heed? How will I know? Man’s better at greater heights It's so much easier to see Abilities come up, perceptions rise Communication brightens, enlightens! How will I know? Did they read? Did they listen? How will I know? ©2009 Carl Watts www.carlwattsartist.com |
