Mountain of Faith
Far off bathed in hazy blue light,
Reaching and hugging clouds real tight.
A soft and peaceful landscape scene
How romantic it all would seem.
Sunlight casting patches on your back,
The eye follows a meandering track.
Snowy dust glitter down one side,
As cloud shadows drift and glide.
But when I draw so very near
I see the rock face, repelling sheer.
Jagged teeth grinning down
Ridges form an angry frown.
Avalanche path an ugly scar
A drunken path from afar.
Fluffy clouds now roiling black
The deafening sound of lightnings crack.
Trees bow, groan and creak.
Golden grasses, now very bleak.
I feel the anguish sear my heart.
Natures forces tear dreams apart.
The wind howling for evermore
Be careful what you pray for.
As the mountain and I become as one,
I despairingly cry:"Thy will be done"!
