    Pinnacle

    I climbed a mountain just to see
    from a vantage so alien to me
    To rise above it all and stand in time
    as pinnacle yet kindred we are in spirit
    but not in time
    As you have been before and I anew
    you have weathered all and still you stand
    and I have tried but fallen
    but here I am
    to learn but once again
    what it means to be a man
    if nothing to myself like you I'm am
    To be and nothing more than what I am
    and stand before and alone
    but have meaning.

    I liked the imagery of man against mountain and how one has weathered the ages better than man has weathered his few. I think you started off strong but weakened at the end. I still liked reading it though.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
