Elihea

Bowls of clouds pad down peaks settling for the night
Shades of gray illustrate patterns symmetrically

Majestic ridges project abundantly, appears to be like carvings, but in 
essence, years of erosion has set forth the wonders of nature 

Some carvings look like faces at various high rise projections
Perhaps those faces talk with one another, keeping the secrets
of their existence

It’s like heaven below the suspected place that we have not yet seen. 
Time below the eternal heavens is prevalent, so many have yet to perceive 
and feel the serenest of what is to come

Elihea is like the kingdom of all mountains that circumvent above the valley 
where life is governed
Life is hardly present at this dynasty 
Few trees reach high along the ridge and some wildlife flowers
spread below the foundations

Looking at this great summit one could imagine it to be a fortress
to protect the globe that covers all mountains which encapsulates our abode
The sun removes the blanket of clouds at daybreak, gives  rise to unveil
the formations of rocks that slept

Dreams pass by; the mountains retain their subconscious activity
The clandestine epic of life above all continue to remain silent for eternity or till
the end of what we know as our world

It was there that our world became the genesis of who we are and where we will
live hereafter

Divided mountains are like the separations of the great sea
Centuries of time which have passed by since the landings were
displaced by erosions carving into the ledges of these great monuments

Is time just measured by discovery of formations of elements
Setting foot on one of the highest elevations under the globe is incredible

Breath taking and wondrous vistas of time before time, our time....

We see but a mille second of what has been here from when time began
Time of life before we knew it...
