Mount Holy Hoax

We can't help how we are born. We can't go through life without learning from others. But we can avoid the pitfalls of false hope.

Mount Holy Hoax


We all are climbing a mountain,
from our birth until we go.

And we all are climbing others,
gone before us fast or slow.

Which path we take differs,
we all wander in our own way.

But those on the straight and narrow,
still eventually, have to pay.

For there is no top to that mountain,
just hopes and dreams piled high.

If hopes and dreams would get there,
we'd all be touching the sky.

But the trip by nature is precarious,
on every side, a very steep drop.

So if you fly on angel's wings,
don't fly too close to the top.

That light at the end of the tunnel,
is the same that catches moths at night.

All this holy this or holy that,
is just a hoax of wrong and right.

There is no mountain high enough,
to clear life's final demand.

It makes no difference, top or bottom,
who is dealt the best of life's hand.

WE all got our mountains to climb, it's all about attitude isn't it dear poet, some make mountains out of mole hills, some go for the summit, and others watch. I love mountains they are so majestic, thanks for the interesting read this morning. Have a blessed Sunday, xo

WONDERFUL, RHYTHM, STYLE AND PHRASES. AND YOU'RE RIGHT; THERE'S NOTHING 'HOLY' ABOUT ANYONE AND WE WILL NEVER FULLY REALIZE THE COMPLETE QUENCHING OF OUR HOPES AND DREAMS NOR REACH THE PINNACLE OF OUR MOUNTAINS...ON THIS SIDE. SO I GUESS THE BEST ADVISE IS- WE HAD BETTER 'REACH' FOR THE SATISFACTION OF, '...THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR IN THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN...' 'CAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT THE 'OTHER' SIDE...AND LIVING BY FAITH AND 'TRYING'. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

In the flat land of coastal Virginia there is a mountain called "Mount Trashmore." They made a park out of it. It's made of decades of discarded trash. I think sometimes we truly do create our own mountains out of life's garbage.

You are a provocative writer...and your expression displays the emotions of your heart and mind.
I'm sure your journey in life has played a magnificent role in your perspectives, and thus I can't say I know how you feel. But I know One who does.
You're a remarkable man, for sure!
Keep writing!

If we achieve a goal, and whether it's lofty or not, the ensuing happiness may be our boost to the summit of a mountain.

We all have our own mountain to climb with lessons to learn through the choices we've made on this journey in life. Wonderfully written! Great poem, Ron!

"We all wander in our own ways." Absolutely. But we don't have to wander alone. That's where perception and tolerance elbow in. You write perceptively and we have the choice of wandering beside you.

I've reached unseen heights.
I've had great falls.
I've been stuck in darkness,
and I've run into walls.
And holy shit,
your poem says it all.

One of your best, Ron. There is no end to the trove of imaginary inspirations, of nothings we might turn into vision and courage.
