Another mountain⛰.

Third-year of an exciting journey so far starts today, so I thought I’d share one of my favorite poems:

"Another Mountain"
by Abiodun Oyewolek.

”

Sometimes there’s a mountain that I must climb
even after I’ve climbed one already
But my legs are tired now
and my arms need a rest
my mind is too wary right now
But I must climb before the storm comes
before the earth rocks
and an avalanche of clouds buries me
and smothers my soul.

And so I prepare myself for another climb
Another Mountain
and I tell myself it is nothing
it is just some more dirt and stone
and every now and then I should reach another plateau and enjoy the view
of the trees and the flowers below.

And I am young enough to climb
and strong enough to make it to any top
You see the wind has warned me
about settling too long
about peace without struggle.
The wind has warned me
and taught me how to fly
But my wings only work
After I’ve climbed a mountain.

“

Third-year — just “more dirt and stone” eh?

PS: Sophomore year update coming soon..👀
