montana mountains
we are now in the mountains
and the mountains are in us
towering cliffs of red granite
puncturing the heavens with pinnacle peaks
soaring columns of golden clay
scaling to stories too high to read
moonlit crowns of ice and snow
telling tales of death and defeat
sunkissed passes of morning delight
whispering melodies of discovery and light
dripping snow from families of fir
disappearing into glaciers
lowly rivers beneath bridges and feet
quietly remembering how it all came to be
