A Small Mountain


It wasnt a tall mountain,
or a steep one,
But... it was all i needed
to see forever.

As a cold wind whipped around me
and dark clouds gathered overhead
I walked around, and looked out.

To the east, the vast Atlantic
stretched out to meet the sky
in a hazy veil of gray.

To the west, majestic mountains
stretched up to meet the sky
and pierce the clouds with stone.

To the north and south, small towns
resting warmly in a sea of green,
snuggled down against the wind.

It was all here
and all clear
when the rain began to fall.

It wasnt a tall mountain,
Or a steep one,
But, it was all i needed
To refresh my soul.
