The Mountain

I sprinted down the mountain,
With progress in my heart
Snow-whipped face, wailing wind
Between the peaks that stood apart.
But somewhere on that mountain
I found myself in a pinch
Despite the running, heaving, panting,
I had not moved an inch.

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.
