lady on the mountain - the sonnet


there could be more, having so much mountain - 
though at the mount one becomes not lady, 
anymore than being at peace is human - 
neither condition is a malady. 

so why not either, more ladies or peace?
many can fake being at peace or regal,
but being mountainous, mountains cannot cease,
as her soul can but soar like an eagle.

and just how to find one, or better - both?
peace is a mountain; it is there or not, 
and when seeking ladies, leave those who loathe
and go somewhere when not found, peace is sought.

i’m old and betters have said, “ seek your root“
- perhaps - mountainside - a tree - lady fruit?
