The Mountain You Carry is Only Meant to be Scaled

The mountain you carry is only meant to be scaled.

All your endless worries can be set aside for today.

What you need to overcome your storms,

comes through action and wisdom alone.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, anywhere,

So, rest in the present moment, and set aside your cares.

The toughest lives with all their troubles, are mere specs in time and space.

The goals you constantly chase are just busy work superficially manmade.

It’s your soul that you must preserve and nurture each day.

That’s where your life essence breathes and whispers today.

The ones that love and care for you, remind you of what’s truly important.

Don’t shun their attention, they are here now but will be far away someday.

Your stress for money, status, and material fame, is a fleeting flame.

They can be extinguished in an instant by death’s unannounced embrace.

What truly matters and lives eternally in memories, is the love and joy you share.

Your life moments are fleeting so put down that mountain, it was only meant to be scaled.
