If I were a mountain,
I’d be rugged and tall
with my head in the clouds.
I’d be wild with rivers that whisper and roar;
I’d flourish with creatures,
forests, and storms. If I were a mountain,
my thunder would pound
hard as a hammer, crisp as the morn.
Come June, I’d flower
with poppy and glow. Come fall,
I’d showcase maple groves. I’d be orange and yellow,
red and bold. If I were a mountain,
I’d be capped in snow. I’d cradle a village
in a quaint meadow. I’d decorate Christmas
with evergreen spruce. If I were a mountain,
miners would sluice their hopes and dreams from solitude.

After the romantic description of the mountain in each season, the last two poignant lines took me by surprise, bringing me to another reality. Beautiful poem. Wishing your upcoming book a lot of success! Thanks for liking my post. Cheers 🙂 Irina
