A Citrine Flower

 

Am I brave?



The plain is a dreary trudge


Of rocks to dodge and people to step aside for


 

I see the mountain


My destination


Why did I choose this path?

​


I was asked


Felt the call


Climb the mountain


There you will see


​

Am I brave?


No


Worried about stubbing my toe on a rock


Worried about spraining my ankle


​

But the Mountain


It makes my heart sing


​

Give me a task
 

That is rare


And I will succeed


​

Give me a task that is long


And I will devote


​

But whilst on the plain


If my attention wanders


And I stub my toes


Know


I will be climbing that mountain


And I will succeed

​


Am I brave?


In the strangest ways


Am I teary


Yes

​


If I sprinkle seeds


The path will be lovely for others


If I move rocks


It will be smooth

​


Here 
Now


This is the mountain


Who will walk by my side ?

​


The Mountain will show me


The long trail of flowers


Colour blossoming on the land


A line of gold or opal in living colour


That grows and grows again

​


The mountain watches over me always


Yet the Sun touches all


On path or up mountain

​

The Sun 


Whose home is that ?
