The Mountain

By Anna Abraham

A serene, monumental mighty mass,

Stood pointing towards the skies across.

Facing the sunset and sunrise,

A breath-taking view for a passer-by.

Many have faced their downfall,

While many have pushed through it all,

Trying to climb and surpass,

The trials and tests that come along,

For catching a glimpse of the beauty to the heavens belong.

Some have succeeded in reaching the peak,

To behold the beauty that many seek.

Many give up half way through,

While others pave a path to fight through.

Silent and still though it may seem,

The mountain is filled with life and gleam.

Be it the eagle soaring high,

Or a mountain deer passing by,

Every creature is a wonder held up high.

Firm it stood through all these years,

Enduring the changing weathers,

Centuries and decades it went through change,

To stand tall and towering- The mighty mountain.

For the ones who hold onto their goals,

Despite all the struggles that come along,

Your hope will bring an outcome that’s worth it all.

The changes that life brings forth,

Are challenges to be faced for growth.

Never withhold from being bold,

Stay true to the dreams you uphold,

And do what you want not what you’re told.
