I Spoke To the Mountain

I spoke to the mountain I spoke to the mountain and valleys to ask, Do you even know my name or remember my past? I spoke to the mountain to simply confide, all the insecurities and sorrow I continue to hide. I spoke to the mountain and pledged my life’s key, and the mountain replied, “But do you know me?” I stopped in my thoughts, as the sincerity I caught ,the question was a blessing with a lesson to be taught. I kneeled to the mountain, my eyes full of tears and the mountain boldly asked, “ My child why so much fear?” I dipped in the valley and spoke to the stream, and replied to the mountain life is a horrible dream. The mountain erupted with pink stars and blue moons then told me, “Child don’t fear my plans are never doomed. I shot to the sun as I whispered amen, and floated on the clouds as I began to dance. The mountain was a God I cannot explain, but the spirit gave me what I needed and definitely knew my name. JLAUREN ADAMS 5/18/16

I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like.
