right back down

(Camels Hump mtn)

The summit were miles become minuscule 
Is a blue fade of a pinprick from fresh cut grass and gravel home 
As you stand there and ponder
That you stood atop said such dome
Burning muscles to reach something breathtaking 
To be back at the bottom by noon
How the view is unstoppable
But that afternoon the view is your room
How you cherish that moment
Only after you’ve grasped that it's real
Because now you’re in the car listening to radio
And it's becoming no big deal
But spend hours inside at the desktop
Or a summer of hot tubs and wealth
And you’ll never reach the top
Of that feeling of pushing yourself
And there is that stubborn expanse of prickly pine trees
Who wonder why we come and go come and go 
When the view from the top is a daily show
You could just stay here ya know?
