TO BE A MOUNTAIN

TO BE A MOUNTAIN

 

To be a mountain ?

Is too some, a life personified

Embodying the characteristic, of a mountain

Their volume of insecurity is larger than life.

They need the allusion of strength

For solitude , because a value of self worth  is buried in pride

 

To be a river?

Is freedom too some

Flowing without boundaries.

The truth will not confine them

To face the lies, that they have become

 

To be a bird?

With wings of flight

Some would betray their own soul

Their incarceration of being bound to  earth  , a body

Will be left behind

Love the references to

Love the references to nature in this one press. One thing- I think you could do without the question marks where you put them, you weren't really asking a question in those instances.But the intertwining of life and nature here is beautiful. Well done. Peace
