You are like a mountain; not a
sublime snow-capped mountain in
Colorado, or like the Cerro Torre in
Argentina and Chili.
Not like
the Ama Dablam in Nepal.
But you seem like a
mountain nonetheless.
A mountain that obscures
the beauty of the
majestic sunrise,
and the grandeur of life.
A mountain that
smothers love and
everything glorious.
Maybe you aren't
a mountain at all.
Perhaps you're an
ant hill, dragging
dead souls into
your busy hole.
I climbed you, and
was so enamored with
your beauty, I missed
your charade and
masquerade.

Well, the mountain is sure not coming to me, maybe I'll find this one of yours.
Thanks, Dan.
Fine words Thomas, we see what we see.
Andy
So true. Thank you.
A mountain that obscures beauty and that became an anthill. Not what she first appeared to be. Sounds like a blot on the landscape of life Thomas. Sometimes it takes a while for the truth to sink in. Brilliantly penned.
Thank you so much, Cassie.
Such a meaningful poem! I love it
Thanks.
Looks can be deceiving can't they .. not everything is what it might at first seem .. in fact most, is probably far from it .. Nice one Thomas .. Neville
Thank you, brother.
