                                        A Speaking Mountain

                                                 Created 
                                         by the Supreme
                                      Lord to please ardent 
                                  observing eyes, with shrubs
                            and trees along my flank, I stand still
                         staring at the sky. He who dares to wish
                     my peak to reach, let him beware of sturdy thorns, 
                 let him heed nature`s rule not to breach, let him overcome 
              my steep slopes. He who is lit by the flame of divine faith can 
     reach my peak and with joy victory proclaim over the stiff maze of hurdles.
                     He whose                                         Faith can
              supple soul sprightly                            restore life to a
          sparkles with faith in the                      corpse, heal a severe
      Almighty can, with his wings                 deaf or a blind, give speech
fly to the sky in a divine lee to settle.      to a wild horse or an ox and guide 
                                                      mankind their rightful path in life to find.
                                              Let me 
                                          bow to him 
                                     with true faith in 
                              the Lord as he can order 
                       me, with the might of the Almighty,**
                    to quit my seat for eternity and I would
                  have willingly or unwillingly but to comply.
