THE MOUNTAINS Poem by Titos Patríkios
THE MOUNTAINS
First there was the sea.
I was born among islands.
I too an island have temporarily emerged
until I see a light - that too like a stone -
and sink again.
The mountains came later.
I chose them.
I somehow had to share the weight
that had crushed my country for centuries.
'' The mountains came later. I chose them. I somehow had to share the weight that had crushed my country for centuries. '' a powerful 'finale'
