Slowly... <br />the mountain <br />came into view <br />Until it was right there <br />Looming <br />Over you <br /> <br />Larger than life... <br />Blocking the air <br />The sky...the sun <br />Overwhelming... <br />Blocking your world <br />Your view, and you <br />From everyone <br /> <br />But as soon as you pass it <br />It starts to become small <br />Smaller and smaller <br />Until it’s but a fleck <br />In the landscape <br />On your rear-view mirror <br /> <br />That's what I learned about mountains <br /> <br />They will disappear from view <br /> <br />And if you look ahead in the distance <br /> <br />You will finally see <br /> <br />You<br /><br />Sonya Florentino<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mountain-review/
