Mountains
standing tall against the winds
bursting open unwieldy clouds
immovable, indestructible, majestic
insurmountable by mortals
something I always wonder
does hatred rise with vapor
to make you shudder
do the birds ever warn you
of the spectacle you are to witness
are rivers the tears you silently shed
at the carnage suddenly spilled at your feet
is it the sun's warm sprawling embrace
scaffolding you from crumbling over
Written on 07/11/2016 for Julia Wards' "Mountains" contest
Inspired by mountains of Kashmir in India.Ownership of Kashmir has been the source of discord between India and Pakistan.Years of war have witnessed blood spilled in the paradise like valleys of Kashmir
