Looking back has never been so painful To leave the place where you find peace Is no easy task For me that place is in the clouds Atop deeply forested arches That link our Terra to the heavens above Allowing every brave Explorer To reach for God itself, And for just a few fleeting moments Understand what it means to be holy, And pure Like the crystal clear streams that carve The mountainside Creating bizarre gneiss's That resemble an ocean wave Turned to stone, As old as Terra herself, Slowly crashing down the cliffside Moving the world With every breath Of my mountain home
