4 , ooo ft up <3

You're at the peak
Of existence

You know you are
Because
You don't feel anything

Its just that overwhelming moment
When your life feels complete
Full

Things are quiet up there
Peaceful

And you notice every detail
Of every thing that seemed
Insignificant

In that moment
Time freezes

Making whispers
Of new souls
Heard

And you don't stop hearing those words

Because

The moment is never ending

The author's comments:
One day I went to Mt. St Helens . Beautiful place . I wrote this while I was there and the feelings expressed in this poem were how I was feeling or very close . I remember the moment very clear . Being 4,000 ft up on a mountain side really shows you a different perspective .
