The Misty Mountain Solemnity

You ask me why I love mountains? I smile in the silence and quiet mind Seeing the golden horizon with the heavenly sky To the deep green valleys and the floating white wings Far from the humankind. You ask me why I dwell in the mountains? I cry and I can cry out loud for my heart is free of care Seeing the distant snowcapped peak I try to reach her my voice And I listen to my own cry when she replies. You ask me why I find peace in the mountains? The city is down with curses And here even when a lonely cloud floats lesuirely by It gives me to breath a fresh air when it passes by And when I see the same ridge again It comes with a far horizon that flashes by. You ask me why I find homely in the mountains? Keeping company with moon, I never lost my way Looking back I see the paths I have taken Blue then, blue beneath the skyline The moon greeted me with hidden tracks Revealing the secrets in the forest Even a leaf becomes a home down my way. You ask me why I don't want to return back to the plains? Wind in the vales still outcries my voice Every droplets falling from the leaves recalls my tears The clouds floating aimlessly shows me the distance yet to cover And the misty morning cold holds my breath forever.
