Mountain for love

It's only a mountain,
yet splendid and alluring,
yet treacherous and unpredictable
I scale it a foot at a time
for love and purpose

It called out the brave
sought lovers of nature
fed streams and lakes
it takes on a new meaning
touching lives down below

love makes you do crazy things
jump into blazing flames
get into debt for jewels 
die for humanity
or scale heights
like the mountain
all, for love

So up we go
hoping to return
but yearning to arrive
at the peak, the goal
the reason for the feat
filling bellies, feeding babies
touching lives below

It's only a mountain
for love
