I Choose To Rise Poem by Nosheen Irfan

I Choose To Rise

Rating: 4.8


I choose to rise
Like a mountain in love with the sky
Always gazing up in wonder
At the azure splendor of the day
And scarlet beauty of eve
I long to be near the sky
To talk to the sailing clouds
That carry a rain of sorrow
Beneath a sombre demeanor
I long to stand upright
Though bent with baggage of time
Like a mountain I wear a stony face
With dreams buried in caves of silence

As soon as I say the title I came running as it reminded me of a poem that I wrote, I Choose the Mountain... I was not disappointing. In fact, it is simply sublime!

Thank you so much Howard. Your poem I Choose the mountain is a masterpiece. I'm nowhere near that level of perfection but your kind words make me feel elated and a little conceited. lol. Thanks my genius friend.

Telling, trenchant, poignant... these are some words that come to mind. I think perhaps you live within sight of mountains, so you spontaneously commune with them.

I long to stand upright Though bent with baggage of time Like a mountain I wear a stony face With dreams buried in caves of silence--A wonderful poem.
