Welcome To The Show

By Jaskaran Singh Dhillon

We all been flying high,

Trying to try and that is why

We focus on us; 

And so much of dust

We gather on our boots as we walk high 

Up in the mountains touching the sky.

“Welcome to the Show!”

Says the mountain king,

“Welcome to the Show!”

The pine cone trees sing,

“Welcome to the Show!”

The crystals of ice begin to melt,

“Welcome to the Show!”

You have reached the show's main event.

As we climb the peak,

The show begins;

Rains shower from the thundercloud

And the river carves and chisels

It's way through the mountain's valley,

Giving life to the men, beasts and flora plenty.

The peak gets sharper, the higher you go;

Once you've reached the top, 

Another element says to you,

“You have crossed the ocean, and climbed this peak,

Only remember that now,

You must learn how to fly still,

For the mountain top is just the beginning

Of another journey to the beyond.”

Beyond the clouds

And above the skies,

Into space and back 

To the ground; all the way through,

Then the jungle cries out loud,

“Welcome to the show!”
