Ode to Mountains
You wear a crown of clouds upon your head,
A titan carved from ancient silent stone,
While valleys sleep within your shadows bed,
You watch ages pass from your high throne.
The circle circles near your jagged crest,
Where thin and frigid air begins to bite,
And weary travelers find a place to rest,
Beneath the silver stars of endless nights.
The circle circles near your jagged crest,
Where thin and frigid air begins to bite,
And weary travelers find a place to rest,
Beneath the silver stars of endless nights.
You are the anchor of the shifting earth,
A monument that stands against the sky,
Witness to every season’s birth and death,
While rivers at your feet go rushing by.
Though I am small and fleeting as a breath,
You teach me strength that shines in spite of death.
~ Miraya Sethia
