Undone

 In a place so wide, so wild,

Silence being the only sound

Silence and the whistling air

They ring like the chime of a Gompa’s bell

They chant like the prayers from a monk’s lips

And within me, the hum and buzz grows

Raising me up to the endless snow line,

To the sandy peak that speaks of isolation

To the valleys beyond, that portray long journeys.

Feeling unbound and unchained,

At the mercy of my will,

To not falter with every step I take.

My every breath, not my own

But a debt to my future

To a future that asks for mindfulness

These mountains have gotten me undone, I am lost.

I came for answers but now I have questions.

I sought for peace but now I am conflicted.

Looking for the otherworldly feeling, this place shook me up.

These mountains have gotten me undone.

How easy it was to have planned this journey,

But now after having made it,

Nothing should ever be the same again.

Ideally!!
