If only I could scale those heights
of wondrous rock that beckon so,
to skim across waters between
crisp air to bring my skin aglow,
to silvered mountains I would go.
Freedom within each step I take
shrug off the heavy chains that bind,
venturing forth to the unknown
such cherished treasures I would find,
refresh my thought empty my mind.

ah and if you could scale those heights to refresh your thought empty mind I think I would like to accompany you on the trek as the mountains are beautiful and a real source of inspiration to mind and soul. There is nothing like crisp clean mountain air and scenery to help shrug off the chains that bind. This poem has refreshed me. Good luck in the contest
