Zenith (The Mountain)

My search thus far has led me to this very spot.
I am yet not what I'd like to be, nor yet where I'd like to be.
I felt Zenith was beyond my reach. The mud was still so much more inviting.
But I look up now, here, I see it.
On this ancient burial mound, I look across and see The City of Gold, Silver River flowing from The Mountain, and a Lonely Maiden.
"Who are you, oh lady of dreams? Haven't I met you before?"
she says "Who wants to know? Is it really you or your emptiness?"
