A lonely soul on a mountain alone
Heaving and panting from the tiring climb
An eagle circles the sky in the distance
The neighbouring peaks decked with forests virgin
Wild animals lurking in the hidden green
But on this zenith she stands alone
Scared as the sun sets, darkness enveloping
‘Is there anybody here?’
She screams, desperate for contact
Her voice echoes in the mountains loud
The sound of the wind resonates in her ear
‘Somebody?’ ‘Anybody?’ another attempt
But no one answers her desperate plea
‘Is this not where I wanted to be
At the top, leaving everyone behind?’
And with that, she bends down on her knees
And with her face in her hands, she weeps
Sobs racking her tired body
A lonely soul on a mountain alone
