Mountian

One
Word
Builds on
another and
still yet others 
till a mountain of
words form a reality
and a state of mentality.
Paragraphs of pointed potentials 
Climbing the slope of fundamentals.
The top only lets you see where you are.
Maybe where you came from and where your going.
but who knows of the foot or still deeper the mountains soul.
Digging under the surface, studying the foundation 
Looking at each word within its context.
A dark and sometimes cold task.
Feeling the texture between
the words and lines.
We understand
the root
shows
why
