The Beautiful Mountain
#30 of Poetry
This is a poem I wrote as a gift to and for my good friend AnnVee (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/annvee) who I know quite well and speak to with frequency. She received it directly when I wrote it, but I felt like sharing it. This poem is about our friendship and my admiration for her and her work, and it was not intended to have romantic undertones. I guess that's just how it is sometimes! ^^
The Beautiful Mountain
(08/16/2020)
Standing in the distance,
I gaze across the sea,
And sea a mountain yonder,
It's looking back at me,
So innocent and pure,
So glorious and vast,
It's tugging at my heartstrings,
My reverence I've cast,
I watch with eager eyes,
And speak my tender words,
I'll keep it in my heart,
But it is quite absurd,
The mountain's driven snow,
Too far for me to touch,
Though I'd love to venture,
The distance is too much,
So every day I watch,
And listen to the wind,
I am forever loyal,
To the mountain I'm akin,
And when such time has passed,
Adventure claims my soul,
I'll pay tribute to the mountain,
Pray she listens to a knoll,
For I am ever thoughtful,
I compliment the great,
And comfort I surrender,
Regardless of my state,
But no matter what our fate,
If silence does portend,
And if she can't recall me,
To the mountain I'm a friend.
