The Wondrous Mountain
POETRY FORMAT, 4 Apr 2022
Dr Usha Roopnarain – TRANSCEND Media Service
Mafaldi Mountain bordering South Africa and Lesotho
Is the wondrous mountain you?
Holding you back… like a boulder?
Or can you climb up and realise your true potential?
Or maybe you are rock bottom?
Is the wondrous mountain you?
Self loathing, Self sabotage
It is a pitiful camouflage.
Hiding the wounds, the beauty, the deadly scars.
All in an upright mound.
Like a huge swelling growing from the ground.
Do you want to reach the peak?
It’s height could give you a unique elevation.
Perhaps growth or self realisation.
Climb the lonely mound.
Self realisation is so profound.
That’s what I Found!!!
