Time to move a mountain

I look up to the twelve
Can you help me fire, water, earth!
If I say your names will you come
If I draw your form will you fly?

Aries to Gemini
Pisces to Scorpio
Take form and flight

I need your voice to move the mountain
Bring your weapons, charge your armour

This mountain does not move?
This mountain will not move!

Stars be brave, stars unite
This is our battle, this is our fight

But this mountain does not move!
But this mountain will not move!

Oh stars put down your weapons
Use your hearts, use your love

This mountain oh mountain
Oh please yield to the stars above

But mountain, you are no mountain?
Your form has changed
You are a girl, a most beautiful girl?

I am what I choose to be oh little boy
I would have changed long ago
Had you asked my nicely

Why would you have done that?

Because you silly little boy, I do love you!

something different

Its a different kind of poem but like your kids you love them all for different reasons right. I like the twist and that what was to be some great warrior was actually a SILLY little boy. Thanks for reading it best regards Stuart

Hello Stuart

Isn't it funny, how sometimes we wear ourselves out trying to get something, when all we had to do was ask in the first place? Your poem is a gentle reminder. And I also love the twist at the end! Always, Cat
