Analysis of Master on the mountain



There is a master on the mountain that knows all.
The path to him is a most tretrous climb,
 death is certin with peralous fall,
 in winter snow so white it will blind.
A testament of strength and courage it will draw
 and bring enlightenment into the mind.
This knowledge sough becons a call that eccos through the vally of time.
The path is both narrow and wide,
 with endless void and cliff on both sides
 that twists through the black of the nigh
 and the peak leads up out of sight.

Though the journey is both hard and long
 you know you must travel on
 so your venture plays out like a song.

Finally when your goal is reached you sit and ask the master to teach,
 but he speaks in riddlous toung and this is what is sung.
 "Though you have ventured long and far i say go find me a flower,
 though you are cold and week you must find the power,
 once you succeed bring this thing to me,
 then you will understand and see,
 clearly this knowledge does not lie with me".

"To find the answers to all you seek,
 look inside yourself
 and you will become the master high upon the peak".
