Sketch by author

In the name of mountains,
I hike and seek you —
above.

Heeding my prayers
between towering terrains;
she descends.

Robed in water,
she is rocks
crashed into pebbles.

Weary of life
hope eludes
like rising fog.

Touching the sand,
I waver in faith
on land.

High in the mountains,
I fight the demons
for the godly me.

I read quietly. Here for mostly poetry. I post occasionally and, during my absence, enjoy the pinned index. More at www. gloria-gonsalves.com
