Climbers search for the missing poet <br />So youthful, talented and full of life <br />Last seen exploring a volcano's slippery slope <br />Compelled by it's natural beauty, capriciousness and it's hope <br /> <br />The moment before he slipped he was likely alive and giving thanks <br />Suddenly down the volcano's crater banks... he likely felt no pain <br />While the search goes deeper down it should look higher <br />That's where his soul will be felt and found; Not in vain <br /> <br />Because a poet searches Up not down <br />In the quiet moments of solitude, when nobody else is around <br />People struggle with earthly things <br />But the poet seeks for higher, more hallowed ground <br /> <br />Higher....that's where his soul can be found. <br /> <br />2009 © James T.
