Poetry

At Times When I, With Spirits Low
by Marty Lewinter

At times when I, with spirits low,
Seek a place where souls do soar,
The lofty cliff to which I go
Each time seems taller than before.
 
The ocean, bluer than the sky,
Shows not a wave from that great height.
I stand where eagles cannot fly
I touch the sun - I roar with might!
 
I see the curving of the earth,
I feel it hurl through endless space.
Up here no need for joke or mirth
Or other creatures of my race.
 
To live, to breathe is joy enough
I am the lord of my domain.
Down below the seas are rough
High up here there is no pain.
 
Infinity is revealed to me,
I drink from its pure fountain.
Life's not always ecstasy
But I have climbed my mountain.
