Mountains


My life is like a chain of mountains.
Going up.
Then going down.
Going up.
Going down.

When I stand on top of a mountain I contemplate the landscape.
I see life and marvel at its beauty.
The horizon is bright.
I see the other mountaintop's I'd like to climb.
I see possibilities and exhilarating adventures ahead.
I brim with energy,
I love life and believe in myself.


Then somehow I slip.
I fall down the slope and hit the ground with a thump.
There I am in a narrow valley, I lie suffocating.
Surrounded by all these intimidating mountains,
that seem too much for a human to climb.
The inaccessible mountaintops sneer at me.
Everything takes so much effort.
And everything is too much.

So I just lie there, glued to the ground.
Waiting for it to pass.
Waiting for history to repeat itself.
Waiting for that breeze that will inspire me to climb the next mountain.
