High Mountains Walk Elevated Heights even when wild all the birds have flown alone is never alone accompanied by clouds in high mountains gazing we walk elevated heights Copyright © Terence George Craddock Inspired by the poem 'Alone Looking at the Mountain' by Li Po.

Portrays a gentle relationship between the mountain and the poet. Nice calming effect to the reader. Simple and short and easy to remember and play back in your mind from time to time. I wish that it had more meaning or that I understood the real meaning that it has.
