This was different
for I kept no company
but it did not deter me
Alone with my sentiments,
the blatant preoccupations,
and trying to meet them
on neutral ground
Hopeful with the notion
it'd lend some perspective

I'd labored for hours,
my mind racing, yet
reaching no end-lines,
when I stopped to rest
at a familiar viewpoint
Expecting clarity
and realizing none,
I labored some more
until I'd scaled it all
and could go no higher
I sat there for a while
wearing a vulnerable grin
and considered what next

Nothing moved,
no comparisons to be made,
so time did not exist
There was only to offer
my most honest exclamation
and I cast it out
as heartily as I could,
just hoping you'd hear it,
but all that returned
was my echo
