As a past time and constant mental sharpening :) I write - or try to, :) pieces of poetry posted in my Instagram account.

Here are some of them...

Mt Ama Dablam, Nepal

Big goals- lofty and high,

Getting there can make you cry;

Goals require a sacrifice,

Success - always has a price.

***

One little bird high up the tree,

It's quietly singing, happy that it's free,

Then it suddenly stopped, must have seen a bee?

Then I realized that it pooped on me!  =)

***

Mt Apo (Philippines)

The birds chirped and flew by; the insects buzzed then went by;

A lonely cloud floated overhead, a sudden wind blew it to shred;

But We? We never tire, looking at each other - the mountain and I.

revised version of one of Li Bai's (Li Po) poems.

***

Mt Makiling (Philippines)

The mountains will stay and last, 

the forest will regrow - it must,

but we... are all simply passing by, 

and will disappear before the sky. 

***

Hawaii - at Diamond Head crater.

No matter how small, 

the mountain will still be tall;

no matter how easy, 

there's always a promise of beauty.
