The Mountain and Me

Richard Langlais
Trumpeter

 The mountain is everything
 it can be;
 there is nothing else
 it can be,
 but everything 
 that is a mountain
 is also me running
 along the farmer's path
 being careful with my knees.
 I am the field of rapeseed
 when running on two legs,
 breathing heavily,
 noticing the dark shadows,
 the golden highlights,
 as the enjoyment of the setting
 sun is deeply
 thinking about missing you
 loping along beside me,
 also being everything you are,
 you the smiling field, the path thinking,
 as I know
 that I am you
 missing me.
