The Calling

The horizon invites me to stay

The wind whispers a secret

The lustrous valleys compel me to gaze around

And turn deaf to worldly chants

They motivate me not to falter

But to keep the pace till I reach my goal

I hear a calling…

The deep canyons caution me to be careful

The hills invite me to explore the unknown

Through the beautifully harsh terrain

The night sky compels me to dream 

With eyes wide open

And admire the twinkling stars

To fill myself with the cool breeze

I hear a calling…

The mountains call upon me

They tell me to stay strong

Against all that tries to hold me

They summon me to hold the ground

And throw away all that is negative

I must put a brave front to all odds

And become a winner for myself 

I hear a calling…
