I Am a Mountain

I am a Mountain I am a mountain standing tall All look up and admire my form Of pristine scenes and water falls Of life’s highs and lows I’ve seen it all While securely anchored in this place Watching the world increase in pace I see life passing by and cry For time to stop and wonder why If life has a beginning and an end What sort of a message does this send We think that life is like a dream But all is not quite what it seems No cleansing rain falls on this mount No refreshing snowflakes do I count I’m just a mountain on the wall I’m a picture – that’s all

Brian, I really enjoyed reading this and reveled at the intended ending twist. I'm quite mechanical with my rhyme while yours flows. I enjoy this, but it's difficult for me to write that way.

We all try and sometimes succeed. I live what I write make believe is not part of me. I have that picture on the wall of a mountain I have climbed. We all have mountains to climband and they are beatable Thanks Mark
