The Mountain

The Mountain

Clear water springs, flows streams into lakes

Treacherous at times (air weak) breathing deep

Heaven filled hard rain, flutter of snowflakes

Mud pushing down,  covers lost days it seeps

Forest's grow new life, Nature's protectress

Caverns underground in darkness they stay

The fragile surface path sees life, sees death

Echos loud rumble ~ rocks fall~  keep away!

This is her warning to those passing by

Temptation to climb reaching highest peak

She begs, Cause no Harm, with her resonant sigh

She calls from the core, listen to her speak

Climate takes a toll on her outmost crust

Nature's damage done, in you she must trust

This is very nearly kaleidoscopic...a mosaic of imagery and prosody which paints the mere impression of ideas and feelings...both elusive and yearning.

The fragile surface path sees life, sees death

I love this line...it's indicative of the overall strangeness and uncanny nature of the whole poem.

And I'm chuffed that you used an image of Muckish! Next time you come to Ireland...we'll climb it together...I know how much you LOVE mountain-climbing!!!!

Mysterious is this voice of the mountain...

I love it...and you...

your Jason XxXxXxXx
