Summiting lyrics

I stood up straight on high

Atop the summits grand

And found myself sealed

'Tween the earth and sky

There, finding truth direct

Little significance to myself

The blues, the whites blend

Inattentive to mortal being

It's recollection felt sharp

Like a ridge's steep slopes

That drastically show life

Its limits streaming down

Obligated to those extremes

Given to wisdom's light

Lessons of humility taught

In the grandeur benumbing

The years no longer lived

At altitude elevated so lofty

Each touched by intensity

Ever found in daily living
