The mountains whisper across the rugged earth Echos upon echos shimmering through the millennia A language far preceding the etchings of men, scratched into the ground. Reverberating through the depths of rock and soil and stone. A creaking between the roots, steeping into the mantle, and into the sky. A silent dialogue, between the above and the below, and the within and the around. An undercurrent that flows unheard beneath the flimsy corrupting crust of mankind, We are visitors, and it is not our song the mountains sing.

Song of the Earth
The mountains whisper across the rugged earth Echos upon echos shimmering through the millennia A language far preceding the etchings of men, scratched into the ground. Reverberating through the depths of rock and soil and stone. A creaking between the roots, steeping into the mantle, and into the sky. A silent dialogue, between the above and the below, and the within and the around. An undercurrent that flows unheard beneath the flimsy corrupting crust of mankind, We are visitors, and it is not our song the mountains sing.
