Poem by Howard Simon

I choose the mountain

The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer


The massive mountain makes its move
Beckoning me to ascend
A much more difficult path
To get up the slippery bend


I cannot choose both
I have a choice to make
I must be wise
This will determine my fate


I choose, I choose the mountain
With all its stress and strain
Because only by climbing
Can I rise above the plain


I choose the mountain
And I will never stop climbing
I choose the mountain
And I shall forever be ascending
