Mountain Top

From a distance I see only majesty

In your demeanor,

Standing tall and proud,

Unflinching, watching over your domain.

 

You sport a soft nightcap of white

As if the night was stilled forever,

Sleeping giant hushed in stillness,

Nothing to explain.

 

Offering a simple challenge to

The village folk below:

“Who will dare ascend my walls to

View what only I can see?”

 

Few will try and few succeed and

Fewer still will ever know

The meaning of fulfillment

Of your bold hyperbole.

 

Eons in the making

Climbing boldly through the clouds,

The mountain rest in stately pride

And looks down on the crowds.
