Mountains and Beaches: A Poetic Conversation

AinaBalagtas

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

The mountain stands, a stoic king,
Crowned in clouds, where eagles sing.
Its air is crisp, its heart is stone,
A fortress built by time alone.

The beach, a queen, soft and free,
Draped in foam and kissed by the sea.
Its rhythm dances with the tides,
A place where the earth and sky collide.

The mountain whispers, “Climb to me,
And find your strength, your clarity.
In my heights, the world is small,
But your spirit grows, standing tall.”

The beach replies, “Lie on my sand,
And feel the pulse of this vast land.
In my waves, your worries wane,
Your soul is soothed, your joy remains.”

The mountain boasts of solitude,
Of paths less trodden, dreams pursued.
It speaks of echoes, deep and true,
Where silence sings of something new.

The beach enchants with company,
Its laughter carried on the breeze.
It hums of sunsets, golden, grand,
And lovers walking hand in hand.

Yet both are keepers of the soul,
Each a part of nature’s whole.
The mountain teaches: Rise, endure,
The beach reminds: Flow, feel secure.

Together they weave life’s perfect thread,
With peaks that rise and waves that spread.
The mountain grounds, the beach sets free—
Two halves of one great symphony.
