Sit & Listen

on the spot

Sometimes, I am up there, in ‘X’,

I hate that I am up there at all,

But I have to be up there at times,

At times, when no one is there to accompany me,

I sit there, atop the very brittle mountain that sometimes fall and sometimes doesn’t,

But when it is in between,

Like it is now,

It speaks,

The mountain does,

It says things and I listen,

I sit and listen,

And the mountain tells me everything,

As long as I sit and listen.

We all have that place
where our mouths shut
and ears open up

[FaeryQueen]

I feel as though I know this brittle mountain well.
