Rugged Mountain

by Ana Monnar
(Miami, Florida, USA)

I am a rugged mountain
All kinds of weather
Pass by me
The glowing sun
Brightened the horizon
While the rain and snow
Washed away the shadows
That life’s voyage threw at me
I stand erect no matter what
For I am tough
I am hopeful that
Better days will come my way

Once the spring showers rain love
Cupid strikes infinite couples
Always hitting the right mark
Awakening from the anchored peak
Allowing me to walk and breathe again
Fireworks illuminate the sky
Standing in the lake of hope
Take a listen as the bell of opportunity
Loudly plays, “Ding-dong-ding! ”
The wind is no longer crying
At last, Heaven is smiling at peace
