Imperiously majestic the mountains
rise from the mantle of the Earth
like imperial crowns reaching
out to the heavens as though to
reunite the planet with its source
an expanding universe unwilling to
reassemble itself in its original
manifestation of impatient atoms
anxious to become wayfarers of an
ancient timeless odyssey, a stellar
adventure of self-discovery and
ultimate alienation from the mother
lode which bore then released them
in a gargantuan spasm of violence
unhindered by the ghostly presence
of resistance to the cataclysmic
expansion. The monumental stele on
the planet are fixed in situ destined to
remain symbolic of the greatness of
nature to whom ancients ascribed godly
attributes sacrificing lives to propitiate
the spirits. To this day the irresistible
magnetism of the mountains call to
those who cannot resist ascending
unforgiving slopes in worship, in the
process submitting to the inevitable
outcome as sacrifices yet again.
