Mountains At Midnight - Poem

As many of my subscribers will know, one of my most reliable and consistent ways I produce a poem is by looking at song titles and seeing if any at all are ambiguous enough for me to perform a bit of magic with them. Earlier this year, I was inspired to create a poem from the prompt "Mountains at Midnight." The concept was extremely interesting for me to experiment with, as I love nature photography, and obviously as well, writing poems about its many facets.

I sat down to write the poem out and decided to work with the base, or story line of two very dear friends climbing the mountain of their shared dreams and ambitions, battling their demons, whilst reaching unprecedented levels of self-growth and achievement, before finally reaching the summit.

I hope it will be an enjoyable read for you all,

Have a great week ahead,

Mountains at Midnight - Poem

It's time for an adventure,
To the highest of heights and to lowest of depth,
This is our time to break out into the light,
This is it, there is nothing left.
We will be a part of each other,
As we march forth, together,
This is the only chance we are being given,
So come with me, dear brother.

We will run by day and walk by night,
Eyes on the finish line,
We will dance the rain, sing in the sun,
In the darkness, be the light.
We will conquer our fears, build ourselves up,
Rise up, above our plight,
We will be victorious,
As we climb the mountain at midnight,
And put down the flag.

We are ready for it,
We’re breathing in the peaceful air,
Embracing the challenge,
Leaving our mark right there.
We won’t be destroyed by wounds and bruises,
We will fight our fears to heal,
There is no dream, or nightmare here,
My friend, this is real.

We will run by day and walk by night,
Eyes on the finish line,
We will dance the rain, sing in the sun,
In the darkness, be the light.
We will conquer our fears, build ourselves up,
Rise up, above our plight,
We will be victorious,
As we climb the mountain at midnight,
And put down the flag.

Oh, I know tough moments will come,
But we will be strong,
Tough times don’t last, tough people do,
So sing with me this song.
Let me hear your voice,
As we sing above the screams,
Lets bring the beats,
And dance away from our demons

We will run by day and walk by night,

Eyes on the finish line,

We will dance the rain, sing in the sun,

In the darkness, be the light.

We will conquer our fears, build ourselves up,

Rise up, above our plight,

We will be victorious,

As we climb the mountain at midnight,

And put down the flag
