Mountain

[teejai]

Winds whistling through the trees,
Leaves swirling to the ground.
Wolves howling in the distance,
Mountains echoing their sound.
Winds settling, temperature dropping.
Moonlight fading, howling stopping.
Snowflakes floating down from above,
Caressing all that is seen with love.
Mountains looming overhead,
No clear path in sight.
Darkness sliding down the peak,
There is no rest tonight.
Climbing to the top.
It seems to never end,
Cannot give in to the pain,
Cannot break, cannot bend.
Standing atop the mountain,
Looking all around.
Body shaking, heart is breaking,
There is nothing to be found.
