Heights in the Kingdom of Almost

Mountainous, our peaks. Rivers undulating with a streaming fixation that tramples the rarely wandered path into an oblivion of cloudless skies. Distant suns sparkle life's whispered lullabies to crackle every bark into a howling symphony of distorted clamber, and a lush bed of dew-drenched blades carve dawn's scintillating awakening into every gasp we quake— slice by soul-seeking slice. Could but we satiate the undiscovered thirst rippling across the surface of our meager cavorting, we might learn flight...

Instead, we stumble, bleary companions salvaged from a wilderness of yesterdays.
