Quartett

The peak of the summit

-Where only sunlight can touch-

Gazes above all

To patiently witness in silence.

_________________________

The wind will carry away

The words and truths that travel

Up to where the snow is set

And become everlasting ice.

_________________________

Stories stay set in stone

-only once they echo

From wall to wall before

They are swallowed alive.

_________________________

And alive they will remain

For the trees and the lakes and the grass,

Like a flight of wisdom that roots

As strong as the mountain it mantles.
