We were of the mountain As far as any flesh can be when flesh is weak and soft And so imperfect in its subtleties. The valley takes no shelter here When we are sand and stone Formed by the world over; we are not our own.
You can't fight this finality - I can, But it takes its toll on me as the rivers line my face And I feel the sea and the moon in their dance. The Earth adjusts itself to this And I understand what it means; That creators are destroyers of the in-betweens.
I see no violent turn in the paths we take, Just the gentle shift that time will make.
