I am a mountain,
tall and silent
I stand,
while seasons change
and the weather rages.
I am a mountain
steady with trees,
rocks at my core,
and water flowing at my feet.
I withstand change
and I celebrate it
when it takes over
everything around me.
But it does not affect me
– it can’t.
I am a mountain,
solid and tall,
that sits proud
for thousands of years
and will continue
standing and rooting
for more years to come.
