Mountains

By ladypink •

This path I choose Has been long and heartbreaking With so many obstacles Some, my own making Sometimes I climb mountains Bloodied and battered I ascend I have reached the peak And climbed down again Tired and forsaken I rest at the end Look back at my struggles And started again So many mountains So many lofts So much effort At what cost? Each day a struggle Each day a hill Bloodied and battered I wearily climb still Give me a day Without struggle or pain Just one day I'll welcome the gain Where are the meadows And fields of moss Where to lay down And count my loss I want to chase rainbows With butterflies dance If only these mountains Would give me a chance Please, no more mountains I've had my share Give me sunshine and rainbows To wear in my hair Give me meadows and fields With blossoms aflower And soft green grass If only for an hour Somewhere to rest My weary heart Just for a while And then I will start To climb again.

this is a really nice poem. you really sucked me in and i could almost see, you know metaphorically, you climbing mountains and the field and etc. and it easy to tell how the mountains and the meadows etc equate with problems and hardships and the desired state of happiness. wicked poem.
