Mountains

Mountains 

People have climbed 
Peaks do erupt 
White colors cap

Clouds huddle around 
Butterflies turn stomachs 
Dreams are made 

What are mountains? 

You may be... 
And even myself 
Who we are... 

Mountains are us. 
All around us
Inside of us 

We are mountains. 
Together we become 
Only formed together 

We become us.

You without I
Are not together
Outside of ourselves 

Look upon mountains 
See inside yourself
Belief encompassed within 

That we are.
Are we that? 
We are that.

What is that?

This is mountainous. 
Mountains of inspiration 
Inspired by each-other

Connected bonds us
Together becomes we
Sharing our passions

We become together.

Mountains symbolize hope
Fears present doubt 
We reflect disbelief 

Shame damns pride 
Ego rejects potential 
Man follows indirection 

Hope remains within 
Mountains sustain dreams
As tangible hope 

What are mountains? 

You may be... 
And even myself 
Who we are... 

Mountains are us. 
All around us
Inside of us 

We are mountains. 
Together we become 
Mountains of us

Only formed together
You and I
Together we become

Mountains

Ah, Were it shared by all, how beautiful our world would have been. The way we have been breaking the mountains, your wonderfully expressive poem becomes more meaningful ...

I have a saying: "It's never too late to be you're great.'" Which came to mind from your comment. Thinking we are still able to mend these broken mountains. Or simply we still can become the what if we were. I enjoy reading your comments Probir. As if to hear your accented voice. Related by an admirable wisdom. Appreciated... and... Respected.
