13 Ways of Looking at the Mountains

1

power resonates from it's heart

strong and elegant.

it's mind set in stone

it's will turned against all.

2

distant scenic backdrop

providing the cover for the perfect image

just a dream,

just something out there to be looked at

3

blinding snow stinging the skin

wind howls never ceasing

no path there,

no path home

4

winding roads

going up and down

taking people home,

and taking people away from home

5

warm cocoa seeps inside

leather gloves feel just right on your hands.

your partner's head on your shoulder,

the sun going down, the white town beneath

peaceful, and quiet.

6

icy claws reach down

and kisses the heads of it's children

and the ants on it's side

dance with joy

7

jeeps roll on

rocks and wet dirt stand in their way

the dirtier the better

the steeper it is the harder you fall

8

shuush,

shussh,

white magic all around

Gore hugs are the best

9

warm rock relaxes the mind

while staggering height reminds you that you're alive

no turning back, just climb

we were meant to do that, climb

10

the black blanket covers all

little holes are in it's weave

the gentle river moving by beneath

and the brilliant moon and expansive sky

11

feet on fire

stiff and sore

move move move

you’ve got 4 more

miles until you done

12

the dragon's hide their layer of gold

amongst the dungeons deep

and caverns old

carefully move from pass to pass

13

land of enchantment all around

closer to God when the mountains are around

high on the saddle ridge is where we wish to be

lost in endless timeless land of majestic scenery
