Stone Mountain
It is a rock. A mere rock.
But that day? – That day
it was the greatest
mountain on this planet. I wished gorgeous granite
would grant my every wish.
I know now that it is merely a rock,
but that day? - that day it was everything. The igneous ignited my love for the lights.
As I looked down to my city,
I decided that I could be anything,
but that day? - that day I was just a kid on a rock.
A kid misguided by the gild of the city lights
atop a mountain-less mountain. And yet,
that day was everything.
