Poem Title:
Poem
Stand above sea level, rise as earth shifts. Watch the land bow, amidst continental drifts. All that you surround lie in shadows below. Here hills on active ground, climb to heaven and snow. These massive creations, are born from plates underneath. Pushing together, they force the earth up until the mountain has peaked. The highest of these is mount Everest almost 9 thousand feet to the sky. Although Ecuador's Chimborazo peak is farthest from Earth's warm inside. Some mountains are born of volcanoes an opening from within earth's core. From these cuts in the crust of the earth gases, and ashes spew forth. And with them come rivers of lava, molten rock, liquid light. It covers great distances in strides at 2000 °F. Solidified, it is igneous rock and this can form the base. Even from the ocean floor and now an island is made. At the summit the weather is different there. The air is quite thin, so ascend with great care. It is cold and water and life may be scarce. But the view from above is a sight worth a stare. 24% of the Earth is shaped, and taken by mountains, and that is ok, For human beings like you and I, rely on the water that flows from up high. Oh, mountain, the landscape you decorate, is a wonder for eyes to behold. It is hard to believe, that one such as thee, could fall to the clock and erode. But for now, these mountains stand proud, and will be here to keep our perspective. That we all have our role, that this earth has a soul, -and I think it is best we respect it.
