A #pilgrimage to the #mountain - v2

A pilgrimage to the mountain - v2

A pilgrimage to the mountain

to the vista, the panorama

the landscape, the view

in my hometown.

Not the Hajj, something on a bucket list,

not something so foreign

a daily gift before me

calling me to come, to look.

A pilgrimage to the mountain

to the overlook, this blessing,

calling me to come, to look,

to drink it all in.

Never wanting to become complacent

to fail to see the magic in each moment

a gift of the Creator, the Maker,

the mountain, the work of God.

A pilgrimage to the mountain

in every season, each moment

calling me to come, to look

to hold onto wonder.
