Mountain

(a poem)

I could only stare at awe
At something bigger than my ego
Even from a distance, where I stood
You overshadow all existence

To scale your entire mass
A feat I'll have to pass
For I am but a mortal
Yet here you are, built to last

I envy you but with pity
For eternity have had you blessed
But I know time can be a prison
Held by bars of loneliness

Still birds fly above you
And behind you, the rising sun
Below life embrace you
Taking from you what they can.
