Looking For Mountains

I'm looking for mountains
and you are only miles of sea
that I've been drowning slowly in,
years play a tug of war with me.

Exhausted, but not defeated,
I wash up limp onto the shore,
I know that something has to change,
a challenge to show that life is more.

I’ve been to grassy hills and meadows
walked wooded acres with quiet streams
I've fallen into canyons and valleys
losing site of my many dreams.

I will remember each moment of beauty
and the way that weeping willows bow
after dancing with wind at dusk,
things that kept me then, but now...

I'm looking for mountains.
