Mountain of Sorrow and Grief

Hand over hand.

One foot, then the other.

Climbing this mountain

Of sorrow and grief.

Desperately trying

To reach its snowy peaks.

You start at the bottom.

Then work your way up.

There will be challenges 

And trials

Along the way.

But if you can reach

The snowy peaks

Of blissful ignorance 

You will find your path

Straight up to the clouds.

    I was fine

    I see the autumn leaves.

    As I watch,

    Barely breathing,

    Autumn leaves 

    Fall from the trees.

    The Human Mistakes

    Voices float on the breeze.

    I wonder, sometimes

    What the world

    Could've been like

    If human's had not

    Destroyed it.

    I wonder about
