He sat atop the conquered stone

admiring the view

cycling his way to the very top

for a moment or two

Looking out to heaven

and down among the hills

where the clouds amassed around his feet

sitting there all still

Standing aloft the tallest column

he smiled and enjoyed the scene

observing the blue of the seas about

and snow on the mountains of green

The only stumbling block to this

he smiled and then he frowned

was having ridden up so high

how was he to get down ?

      It did make me wonder, how he managed to get up there, Peter – Cheers for taking a look.

        I’m not sure that I would have stood up on the top, never mind sitting on a bike!

        Key to all ascents – Don’t look Down! 🙂 Other thought – how’s he getting that bike off the summit? #Mindboggling!
