Winds and mountains
When the winds, velvety and cold
Gust through an endless shore
While caressing all the free souls
Free souls, not you, a spirit old!
And the moon, dazzled and brightened
Veiled in the clouds, yet, like a lantern
While revealing itself to the enlightened
The enlightened, not you, oh frightened!
And so the mountains, proud and steadier
Faithful with the ground, in autumn and summer
While embracing the determined conqueror
The conqueror, not you, a lost wanderer!
The mountains, the moon, the winds and all,
Are worthy of the beings thick-skinned and tall
For, I am restrained, cocooned in a wall
A wall, for the fear of betrayals and fall.

Author's Note
This is how I feel, most of the things (love and career opportunities) in this world are for people who explicitly ask for them, and not for someone who's silent, sensitive, and sincere.

Nothing ever comes to us on a plate, unfortunately. We have to go out and find it. To me, this poem reads of an unreliable lover who does not know what he wants. As you say in the poem, you need to stand tall like the mountains, moon & wind. Lovely poem.
