I saw the mountain
and left my heart at its feet.
I didn't even want to climb
but I wanted to hear its own heartbeat.
I wanted to be earth,
and remain so for as long as it was mountain.
I wanted to bury its worries,
whisper gentle words and let the vastness of its spirit
resonate and echo melodies
made of written realities
only known to the skies.
There are watchful eyes
overlooking its standing
but what a strong mountain it is.
The sap of its inhabiting trees
circulates indefatiguably through its essence
as though nature forgot its laws
when it nurtured this soft cored rock
and placed this earth,
with a flawed heart at its feet.
That was all to say, that it is in between the two
where The Divine is met,
that it is in this landscape where Decree is set.
