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.

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.
