Slowly...
the mountain
came into view
Until it was right there
Looming
Over you
Larger than life...
Blocking the air
The sky...the sun
Overwhelming...
Blocking your world
Your view, and you
From everyone
But as soon as you pass it
It starts to become small
Smaller and smaller
Until it’s but a fleck
In the landscape
On your rear-view mirror
That's what I learned about mountains
They will disappear from view
And if you look ahead in the distance
You will finally see
You
