Beyond Experience

After 35 years on this earth I find  

Myself yet again beyond the borders of  

My experience  

Driving through the fog this morning  

I realized I traversing an alien world barren of all landmarks  

Just like I am experiencing every day now  

My Everest has disappeared I can still feel his presence  

More by his absence than anything  

Even if the fog covers my whole world  

The fog swirls and lifts and I find myself  

At once familiar surroundings  

Now forever changed and tainted  

By the absence in my skyline  

As I struggle and fight my own mountain  

My future legacy  

The mountain I will be takes shape in others skylines  

As I travel through this sea of fog  

Beyond my experience beyond my expectations  

I wonder if everyone else feels as lost as i do these days 

With my skyline forever changed 

And one of my compass points fallen off of my compass 

If so it’s no wonder the world is the way that it is 

But I will soldier on into the great unknown beyond the borders of my experience 

I will continue through the fog 

I will never stop  

Ever onwards and upwards  

I’ll never stop.
