Mountain Valentine

If you make it past seventy
as tragically most don't
that far up the mountain
you start to notice things
there all along but tragically
so many don't look
up and out over the vast fields
and wooded rivers below
you lose your bearings
a little on the thin air
the omniscient light
the dying warmth
finally seeing there is nothing
and has only been nothing
everywhere you look
all this time nothing
but spirit was and is
