It was a mountain
That had been there forever
As far back as any one could remember
It was dark and large
Looming over the landscape
It was the centerpiece
The focal point of the village
It was still and silent
Like any other mountain
If not for its size
It would be taken for granted
Then one day
It heaved
One day it shook
One day right where the mountain stood
A giant elephant rose to its feet
A giant elephant awakened from sleep
Then I too awoke
I too arose
and roared
A volcano
Silent no more
