The mountain does not count the days, It breathes in silt and exhales stone. While empires flicker in a haze, The granite stands, cold and alone. The river writes a liquid script Upon the canyon’s ancient floor, A thousand years in every crypt, A thousand heartbeats at the door. We carve our names in shifting sand And wonder why the tide returns, Yet love is not a steady hand, But the white fire that quietly burns. So let the clock forget its gears, And let the stars dissolve to grey; What we have whispered through the years The silence cannot take away

The Unfinished Arch
The mountain does not count the days, It breathes in silt and exhales stone. While empires flicker in a haze, The granite stands, cold and alone. The river writes a liquid script Upon the canyon’s ancient floor, A thousand years in every crypt, A thousand heartbeats at the door. We carve our names in shifting sand And wonder why the tide returns, Yet love is not a steady hand, But the white fire that quietly burns. So let the clock forget its gears, And let the stars dissolve to grey; What we have whispered through the years The silence cannot take away
