For the Mountains

Better to climb the mountains
Than to descend the valleys below
Though it comes with much sweat and pain
At the top you catch the first dew and rain

Beside the mountains the valleys lie
A place to walk on the finest of soils
With dancing lilies to grace your feet
The valleys are serene and adorable
But the mountain top are more glorious
A place where your flag must find its feet

But beyond the mountain's cliff death lingers
On its top, the cold whispering winds
But within are hidden lessons to know
Better a dream born at the mountain top
Than a vision received in a valley deep

Valleys, plains where any man can plant a feet
But the mountains' peaks are for the eagles
There you can pluck your stars
And journey along with the passing clouds

Better head for the mountains
Where the moon never leaves shadow in its gaps
A perfect place to behold the rising sun
Observe nature's beauty in a single look
And see beyond the hazy horizon
