The Blue Mountain

The Blue Mountain

This poem is inspired by Li Po; and existentialist thought, such as 'The Tree of Life' and my own thoughts and opinions about the meaning of life.

The Blue Mountain:

I went up the mountain,

got drunk before the stars,

saw the meaning of life

the void behind the facade.

I laughed, I cried, I screamed

with eyes unclouded by smoke.

So simple,

I fell asleep.

I woke up in my bed,

got up. Had some cereal.

A poem by Jasper Gentry.
