Building Mountains

Folder: 
God (Inspired by)

I was building
a mountain
with my bare hands.

I planned
the architecture perfectly.

I placed each rock
in a self-designed pattern.

But in a heartbeat,
everything came
crumbling down.

I was crushed by
the weight of worry,
trampled by
a burden
I was not meant
to undertake.

I am not meant
to build mountains.

I can move them
if I have faith
in the only One
with the power
to create anything.
