Across the Sea!

The view of the Mountains from my balcony over in North Vancouver, taunting me for never being able to go climb to the top of one and just be one with the creator of it all!

Across the Sea!

I stare from my window

Straight across the Sea,

To the Beautiful

North Van Mountains,

Staring back at me!

They taunt me with their labour

They taunt me with their love

They taunt me with their permanence,

For the time in which they've already stood!

And the time ahead for them to continue,

Still yet to be!

I travelled over by Sea bus,

Trying to conquer this thing

My love for B.C. Mountains,

Larger than life...

I rode a bus up that mountain side

to East 23rd,

FINALLY!

Hoping the work it leads me to

Will give me,

A New Opportunity

of an Enriched View

From their side of things.

Looking back out

Across the Sea,

To that other half

Of this city!

I wonder now

Can I see my tiny balcony apt

Looking back at me?

As I share in a moment

Where I'm now settled in

As part of the setting

Of that,

Majestic North Vancouver

View

That I stare at with envy,

in awe and love

For trying to figure out

How I can conquer

What it is they mean to me,

When I am looking back

Out at them,

Standing on my tiny balcony apt

From Across The Sea?

I wonder now...

Can I see my tiny balcony apt

Looking back at me?

Jennifer Cooley!
