The mountain's call
the mountains call
with the gentle breeze
the plains,
with it charm and ease
steps up
through slippery rock
or soft walk
on flatten grass
to see the sun's smile
from the peak,
or hear the rain shower
on the plain
only one way I must go,
I choose the steepy slope
I'm bound the upward way
I choose to climb
I choose the mountain's call.
About this poem
The poet uses the mountain and the plain to describe the task of choice faced by humanity on a daily basis. Since success in life depends mainly on the choices one made, the poet therefore suggest that we answer "the mountain's calls" (choices that helps us grow)
