On Mountain Climbing

On Mountain Climbing

Climbing over a little hill,
I had many stories to tell

Climbing over one mountain,
I gained much experience to share

Climbing over the second mountain,
My inner confidence waned somehow

Climbing over the third mountain,
Didn’t think much of myself

After climbing over the fourth and fifth mountains,
I said nothing, and the silence swelled
