but you say....

mountain is a mountain
how can it be a friend
how can it share your thoughts
but you say, it talks to you
calls you aloud
and in whispers in the dead of night
when world sleeps
tells of times past
of kings and queens
of sages and hermits
of wars and love
of passion and intrigue.......
mountain is a mountain
ask any geologist
he will tell you
it's worth
of rocks and granite
of minerals and ore
of water and gold
all things in its bossom
but
the wisdom
of knowing
but
the history
of witnessing....
but you say........
