The world looks very different
Looking down from on high
All the seems so formidable
Loses its place from altitude
To view the goings on below
The orchestrations of flow
Like the lines that ants make
Organized without a thought
As if to stand away from them
A daily grind of frets and fears
Somewhere 'tween amazement
And some sense of epiphany
In the solitude atop the rooftops
Away from the din of the city
Mimicking lone peaks so far
Exploits of urban mountaineers
No pack, no pitons, nor ice axe
Lifts and steps, and more steps
Whether a citizen or a Sherpa
Moments so transfixed on high
