Inspired by Mark Prain, who knew Sir Edmund Hillary, and how they came up with a new venture together.
Mountains cast long shadows across the land,
those who conquer them even more.
That day you shook a very mountain’s hand
deciding together to take a stand.
Creating something unseen before.
Throw out your plan that’s ‘crazy’
for all at this table to see.
Don’t worry if the vision is hazy
(unless you’re a little bit lazy).
open their eyes to all it can be.
Consequences unseen wait round river bends,
as hope and hard work give birth.
For as yet unknown allies and future friends
all help as time, the future lends
Starting something of worth.
So don’t be afraid of that half waking thought,
for all may not be what it seems.
Grab the idea tight, show what you’ve caught,
it may be exactly what they’ve also sought,
and become more than an echo of dreams.
