My Heart Is a Mountain

formed from the hot magma of the earth 
Tectonic plates that collided long ago
Although like the himalayas my heart still grows 

Where the creeks still flow like a warm bloodstream
Blue light shattered in an atmospheric gleam
Tall granite walls built to protect me 

This is how the world has always existed
An attempt of salvation held far in the distance

A crease
A crevasse
A crack to solidify

The rigid rocks cut deep
Rising to new heights 

A barrier meant to be freed by sky 
the ground is held steady as the mountain stretches high 

Into the abyss 
Perpetually motionless

The glare of the girl left to bear witness 
-to the sight Of God.
