Mountains

How high do you reach
O’ mountains of the Earth?
Stretching upwards toward the sky
revealing your craggy chasms
to all who would pass by . . .

Mt. Sinai, Mt. Kilamanjaro, Mt. Everest, yes,
the Himalayas, the Swiss Alps, the Rocky Mountains,
Carpathians, and more
span the vast horizons, sweep the spacious terrain
how immense and wonderful thou art . . .

If only I could climb you to see your lovely vistas
and along the way, breathe in your sighs and echoes,
your streams and rivers, creatures and forest floors,
I’ll view your towering trees
and kiss your summits once I have arrived . . .

O’ mountains you are full of majesty
mighty and stalwart, steadfast and blue
rugged and indomitable, yet
you are subject to tectonic plates shifting . . .

Drifting ... you into oblivion if they wish,
so we should cherish you all the more
whilst thou art still with us.
