Making a Mountain out of a Mole Hill

majestic mountain peaks perforating azure blue sky
requiring sherpas and oxygen tanks to mount its summit
while the hill of the mole is merely a marker
for what lies beneath the earth’s skin.

take glory in your peaks of success and accomplishment
not forsaking life’s winding maze to find home
digging in the dirt to find the places we got hurt*
Feasting on the succulent worms that filter and cleanse
all that we have been through and what really matters.
