Some poetic muse
If i am edmund, you are the sherpa
the dark one – unseen in the shadows
with a pianoed smile of god
a friend with a rope
edmund got his fifty years of fame
and you the customary fifteen
but it was on you tenzing that edmund hedged his bets
the mountain man with lungs that breathed ice
the dark one – unseen in the shadows
with the pianoed smile of god
on the verge of heaven, edmund knocked the bugger off
the new greek -
forever concreted in myth
but you the dark one unseen in the shadows
smiling – holding the rope, atop everest
-kinda seemed like you'd been there before somehow
to christ my sherpa, my god, my guide
carry the load – you are the way
keep on...till we knock the buggar off......
(reflection on 'thou wilt show me the path of life - ' psalm 16)

You are an amazing artist of the original wordy kind. My limited ability to express myself can't find the vocabulary to say thankyou in a suitable manner.
Be encouraged to keep writing in your own style. I love it,earthy man.
Dave, you are the reason the word 'cool' was invented!
