The mountains

High mountain tops

Swerving rivers 

Water always leaving 

Mountains never swaying 

Clouds crawling into the corners 

Shadows coming from above 

Light still shining out of the ever clouding eyes 

And the mountains still staring in 

The river may flow and die 

But the mountains will only grow 

The clouds may cover the eyes once shining with the sun

But the mountains will only grow

The thunder cracks my heart in two

As once blue sky falls to gray

People rush by building dams 

But nothing works the clouds have covered and the river has died 

The sky is gray

The sun is gone

And the rain falls
