The Mountain

I sprinted down the mountain, With progress in my heart Snow-whipped face, wailing wind Between the peaks that stood apart. But somewhere on that mountain I found myself in a pinch Despite the running, heaving, panting, I had not moved an inch.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
