it is easy to fight

it is easy to fight

just disagree

my knees make a mountain

my knees make a mountain
when i lay in bed and read
i look over my book sometimes
this night i see a yellow one

i've climbed many mountains
this way with my eyes 
the route up can be dangerous
from avalanches of memories

tonight it is clear at the top
from that summit i could see
all the way back into my life 
almost to the beginning

but i choose not to look 
so far back or turn my gaze
searchingly into a new vista
lit equality with light or gloom

raised up the eyes find
what they seek

the wisest discover
their heart's delight
