Mountain

God’s hand
Reaching

Origins deep
Below the earth
Your life is millions
Of chapters old

You watch the world 
Above and below
The passing clouds

Rain trickles down you
Like tears on my face

When the sun shines 
It spins out from you
In a thousand directions
Like a kaleidoscope
You share its warmth
With all of us

You are a staircase 
For our aspirations
Climbing 
Ever closer to the stars
From where we came

Searching for meaning
In your crevasses and peaks
You let us climb 

Together
We lift the world up 
To the sky
