I didn’t have to climb.
The mountain came to me.
I heard of a man who hit the lottery
and was set for life.
But that is nothing
compared to what happened to me
on the mountain.
What I saw and learned
no mind can grasp,
no heart can deny.
So I know it and I don’t know it.
But I can’t deny it.
What can I say?
Who would hear it?
I would be drowned out
by common sense
and hard hearts.
So should I hide the light?
What I saw
would set the world free.
It would be full of love.
There would be heaven on earth.
The light I saw is power.
Am I a part of the world or not?
Was the light just for me?
Those are the questions.
For what it’s worth
I’ll hide the light no more!
