My Mountain––poem by Dorothy
My Mountain––poem by Dorothy
You were my mountain
and it was my task
to climb you.
And so I strove,
step by step
through drifts of snow
and mounds of rubble,
always forging ahead
sun and sleet,
desert and flood,
always climbing
to the unseen destination
above,
always wondering
why I came,
what I would be
once I reached the top,
how I looked,
how I would act,
together we climbed,
waiting to see
what I would become.
