Have you ever wanted to climb a mountain and scream something out at the top of your lungs?

You know, like those scenes in movies where the character goes under a bridge  (traffic overhead) and screams out really loud their anger and frustration at the world?

I know a young man who lives in the bushes under a bridge,

an amazing survivor,

his mom is one of my best friends,

she can't exorcise her son's demons,

of course not, that's his job,

hopefully, eventually,

no guarantees on this wild ride planet,

no one exits unscathed from this planet,

toughest school in the universe some people say, this planet,

anyways, back to that mountaintop,

sometimes I just wanna scream out,

something,

something primordial,

something cleansing,

something that will release

all the pent up...

and then the flowers bloom,

watered by our tears,

strengthened by our sorrows,

dipping into joy,

in that gorgeous valley we can see

from the mountaintop,

wow, this planet.
