The river flows backward

From ocean deep to mountain peak

Out of darkness, to the light 

TCMC  

 

The Snowflake on the Mountain Peak

The map of me

Has become clearer to see

Not overnight

But over years

Of poking and peeking

And facing the fears

Of peeling back layers

And allowing the tears to flow

Even though their torrent formed mudslides

And left nowhere to hide anymore

But that was the ultimate point

What use is a map that cannot join me to me

Because of bits I daren’t see?

How will that guide to where I need to be?

And so, I got washed away by a giant wave

In order to find my way

To the circular cave

At the base of the mountain

That I know will save me from the sea

As I return to be

The snowflake on the mountain peak
