Poetry Month Poem #4: Mountain

The Writing Hut

Up high, where the winds blow everything away
High in the mountains, where the cold freezes everything
Where life and death is not in our hands anymore
There I want to go
I want to see, if there should be
A future without me

Despair, death and agony
Test my will to live
Set me free
If I die, will it be a tragedy?
If I live, will it be a blessing?

The universe spins, there are things we cannot control
I know that, I hate that
Every night I walk on that thin thread
Waiting for it to break
For me to fall

But every time it breaks
It fixes itself
And every time I fall
I feel someone pushing me back
In the darkness I cannot see
Who gave up on their life for me
But I can feel, I can tell

That’s why I want to go to the mountain
That’s why I want to see
What the future holds for me
Who those people were
That loved me.
