“I’ve Been to the Mountaintop”,

2025 May 7, 16:35 (pr. May 11, 08:21)

I’ve been to the mountaintop

and tumbled back down;

I landed flat into the mud,

which made me dirty and brown.

But I remain steadfast–this story shan’t finish,

for my gaze is dead set on my prize:

it teases me as it lingers in my vision,

just out-of-reach in my eyes.
