FIRST PRIZE

My soul is a mountain Difficult to climb Few will see the top With secrets at the tip

My soul is a mountain Easy to chip With the right tools Though impossible to split

My soul is a mountain With jagged edges Appearance is sharp Though inside is smooth

My soul is a mountain Different than others In a sea of plains One tall point

My Soul

Isabel Grahl

The roar of the rushing river The sunset of gold The birds chirping The wind howling The mountains standing tall The screech of eagles flying above you The peace The freedom you feel While walking through the greenery The crunch of a leaf The snap of a twig The reflection of the water The glistening of the snow How tall? How old? No one knows

Texas Weather

Ariel Aguilera
