Poetry Warning

The Rapid

Fear fills the mind, still the river thunders
Power beyond belief, slowly strangles all sense
Mind severed from body
White frothed water spells out death
Deep breathes clear the mind
White hell reveals but one weakness
Decision made, eddie left, floating rebel
Power undescribable, effort unrivalled
The river yields
Joy overpowering, life forever altered




On Arrival

As i gaze across the peaks
Insignificance fills my soul
All emotions overloaded

The sheer size breathtaking
Raw power terrifying
Pure beauty smothering

Yet here I am
The mountain conquered
Body spend and exhausted

While the soul is giddy
Its thirst quenched
Pulsing contentment through my veins

Until the pain resides
When it screams for freedom
The freedom of the hills
