These Mountains

These mountains we’ve climbed

days

years

tears

we climbed them all

through winter winds

joy and pain

we climbed them again

This mountain is steeper

we climbed it for so long

are we forgetting where we belong?

Can we take a break

and stop

and see how far

we climbed

this time?

The beauty is there

in the valleys below

casting

shadows

letting in light

melting plights

Let’s rest for now

on this mountainside

and gaze around

so much beauty to be found

Feel the sun on your face

and see how far

we traveled from that place
