Oh, Mountain! Oh, Mountain!

Updated: Jul 19

Oh​, mountain! Oh, mountain!

How giant and majestic you are

In thou, I see an old but a stern man

Standing tall, holding the values conquered in life

Like the trees and stones, you hold,

You make me feel timid

From you, I learned there is no such thing which can quench my soul as you can

From you, I learned life is beyond prejudice and inhibitions

Oh, mountain! Oh, mountain!

You make me feel so small but yet so strong that I could see the sunshine beyond.

From you, I learned a few things that hold still in life.

The way you stand alone amidst rain, snow, and sunshine

Looking at you sometimes I fail to think about how you manage to engulf us in your arms.

From the river which flows from you narrate the stories of your pride.

They teach us to move on and to never stand by fright.

In you I see an old man losing the teeth like the landslide.

Oh, mountain! Oh, mountain!

Engulf me in your arms so that I may never lose these sights.
