Climb Me If You Can

Here I am so very high
being created by the creator
so very hard in my rock surface
such grandeur nothing greater

Majestic best describes me
being seen from miles around
my focus point covers very much
seldom is my pinnacle found

My eyes watch many failures
that mankind seeks to overcome
even death overtakes so many
shows them fallen totally numb

I am millions of years old
eternal sums up my name
having watched so much pass by
whatever happens, I'm never to blame

I'm mountain, that's my name
look on at my beauty so great
so colourful and snow-white often
at my peak very cold in winter state

(I have personalized nature in this piece, being a mountain and speaking from that great peak's perspective looking down on all the rest of nature and mankind. )
