Thoroughfare Gap

Sometimes I consider my pace, I'm reminded of a train

Gathering speed for the climb to the pass in whose shadow

It already lies, a small metal dragon approaching

The ever present ascending rise to the Seventh MountainReeling and snaking, and leaping it seems

That it wants to come loose from it's path cast in iron

But you can't slow down now as the earth has presented

A new crest to reach without barely a rest from the last oneCan you wonder what lies beyond? Though you've been

There before and forget about the effort and the strain

Always ascending, each yard as a mile to the never ending pull

Of the steepening grade that's before youIt's no matter, no distance, it's the rideA valley, a forest, a desert, a stream and an over sized bridge

For the trickle beneath, you remember the torrent

It turned to last spring from the snow melting fast

And the river it became in the summerPerhaps it is ruin from a fire that has scorched it

So badly that nothing will grow without rain to wash away

The blackened soil, now useless until called upon again

In a future as distant and far away as the next range of mountainsThen take it as far as you see and beyond

With eyes you don't use enough to gather up strength

As thoroughfare gap, what awaits is whatever you see

When you get there of even beforeIt's no matter, no distance, it's the ride
