In the hushed dawn, I stand before thee,
Mighty sentinels of ancient lore,
Your peaks, shrouded in solemn mystery,
Reach for the heavens, forevermore.
With each stone carved by Time’s tender hand,
You stand in silence, grand and wise,
Guardians of tales from forgotten lands,
Where the earth meets the endless skies.
The first light of dawn kisses your face,
Casting shadows deep, tales untold,
A dance of time, in a solemn grace,
As you cradle the morning in creases of gold.
Your silence speaks of eternity,
A quiet strength in the morning’s hush,
In your presence, I find serenity,
Amidst the world’s relentless rush.
The wisdom of ages rests in your heart,
As you watch over the fleeting dance of days,
A reminder, from the end to the start,
Of the transient and eternal, in life’s maze.
With each gust of wind through your stony veins,
You whisper the secrets of the old,
In the stillness, your silence reigns,
A testament to the tales, in your folds, bold.
In reverence, I bow to your majesty,
Oh, mountains, in your silence, I find,
The sacred echo of eternity,
A humbling truth, to the soul, kind.
In the quiet dialogue ‘twixt earth and skies,
I glimpse the essence, pure, divine,
In the heart of nature, the soul lies,
In the silent watch of mountains, the cosmos align.
Your stoic gaze over valleys wide,
Guides the spirit to the profound,
In the heart of silence, truths reside,
In Mountain Majesty, life’s whispers are found.
