mountains on mountains

mountains upon mountains 
cradled in the arms of pink sky 
light breaks lonely night 
birds wake and fly 

I’ll sit here in silence 
in the grasshoppers I’ll confide 
not a word left to tell you 
under mountains I cannot hide 

worth regret in only the city 
passing faces fresh and old 
lights persist through day and night 
defying all the sky has told 

upon mountains on mountains 
at last I shall sleep 
without your interruption to my dreams 
in peace may creep
