I Saw the Mountain (Tanka)

I saw the mountain

And it called me to conquer

But I shyed away

Too terrified of the climb

To reach my full potential

    It’s a terrifying call at times. You really captured that.

      Thank you, it is something that we all go through one time or another I suppose, I just don’t want it to become a habit.

        Hopefully the habit is being able to accept the call and face the mountain.

        That is the hope, I’ve got my hiking shoes on. :)
