At The Foot of The Mountain
Written for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT, topic: I Choose the Mountain


Should I choose the mountain?
Just how high should I climb?
Will I ever reach the summit?
Do I have the strength and time?

Or should I stay in the forest?
With a canopy of branches overhead
And a cool stream to bring me water;
I think I'll stay here til I'm dead.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
