My body is frozen
straight down to the core.
Climbing this waterfall,
it's mind releasing.
It clears my head from all thoughts that
linger.
It calms me down.
Its all that I needed.
All this madness clashing around
just vanishes,
like it was never even there
to begin with.
It follows this moving water
and further away from me.
All I can do is wave goodbye.
Letting it go into the wild.
Though, it will wait for me
to reach back to the bottom.
It will stick to a rock
and wait for me to return.
It will flood back over my head,
Into my thoughts.
It will be a deathly war inside my brain.
Crashing over me like this waterfall above my head.
It shall win,
swallowing me whole.

But, here I stand,
I've made it to the top.
As all my thoughts have made it
to the bottom awhile ago.
Awaiting for my arrival
back down the starting point.
Though, standing here looking out
into this world of beauty.
I did not want to think of those
thoughts and that rock.
A sense of peace
came tumbling around me.
Nothing felt wrong in the world.

Coming back down this mountain,
one by one they waited to re-entered their home.
It did not turn out to be war.
But just a tiny stand-still.
Some entered while
other were left there,
to be buried in the snow.
Never to return to taunt me again.
I'll take that,
I was not swallowed whole
but a little nimble was taken.
Happiness was in me,
and that's all that i wanted.
A peaceful mind.
