Climb

Inspired by my collection of free Buddhism books

I want to climb this mountain

I fear not its height

the mountain becomes tiny

when there is a belief in victory in me

i want to climb this mountain

i fear not the dense brambles

so be it if i had to leave behind a trail of my own blood

i will still break through the spiked army

i want to climb the mountain

i fear not tigers nor leopards

as long as there is a shotgun in my hand

the beasts will run with tails between their legs

i will climb this mountain

i am not afraid of bumpy roads

as long as i treat it like staircase

the mountain is nothing but a lotus

at my feet.
