The mountain of poetry

The mountain of poetry

I fell asleep, had a dream 
I was walking along a road
I came to a mountain
As I stood there looking
someone stopped and said
That is the mountain of poetry
So beware, don’t go there
I asked why they said
You will never be the same
Lightning strike I heard a voice say
Come to the mountain
And I walked to the mountain
And got to the base I heard 
A voice say, beware, so I
Walked up the mountain
I could hear children singing
Bells, ringing and I got to
The top, and there was thunder
Lightning, and then I saw
The god of poetry, who looked
Like Moses I stood there
Looking at him and with
His magic stick he hit me
And lightning strikes
And he says, now go forth
And start a revolution of
Poetry on to the world
I woke up and looked outside
The sun was shining
The birds were singing
I have been to the mountain
A poetry.
