Mountain of a Man

Mountain of a Man


Part I


Mighty mountain standing solo,

Thinking not thoughts of winding waters below;

Murky might they be, but purpose prominent.

Instantly ignoring the reforming rain

Coming awesomely from above also of cloudy cover.

Seeing sights of heavenly heights without wonder.




The greatest on this green globe,

Built by numerous sheets of soil,

Constructing skyward slowly, weighing wayward.

Living lonely above all consistent creations.

Never once pausing to ponder,

What wonders may lay over yonder.




As self-centered souls frequently fall,

Fate did not forget an awkward avalanche.

The mountain's malnourished stature

Gave glory to the downward demise -

Baptized in the below raging river, it is given grace,

For no way can the waters be ignored when found face to face.



Part II



Looking longingly upwards upon once haunted hills,

Help, for which he has asked, encroaches encouragingly,

Mild mannered now, without desapair but hope,

Beneath him before for ages, above him already equal;

But before him another learned lesson resounds. 

Hark!  This virtue offers Hard and Hearty grounds.
