Two Mountains Far Away
Two mountains far away
Barely visible most of the day
Mounds raised high
But so distant, they look
like anthills
in the sky
Azure when the sun is at its peak,
Lavender when, at dusk,
the sun
seems to leak
Miles and miles from here
Do they really exist?
No, I fear
Is it possible that, one day,
I shall reach them?
Climb to their tips and shout,
“I have conquered these peaks!
Here I am!”
Is such a far-fetched goal
Even worth thinking attainable?
No
As the light fades
These mountains disappear
Go
As soon as you may
Overcome your fear
No
Maybe another day
For these mountains
Are not near
