Have you been to a mountain?
Pilling on each other, they don’t complain
Trying to hold each other firm seems to be the plan.
One would think they are brothers from birth, but they aren’t.
I speak of the big and small rocks up the mountain.
Deep down, they have become small lakes.
A refreshing habit for many living species around.
Their shapes and sizes are awkward and cannot become swimming pools.
I speak of the mountain craters.
The gray ash piles up when the explosion begins, till it’s tired.
It cools after a year or more into a hip, forming gigantic hills.
Its heat melts down everything to create a way.
I speak of the mountain volcanic lava.
People use ropes to climb to the top these days.
Others dare without anything until they are the top.
You would imagine the cold above should frighten people.
Yet it was there in prayers that God gave Moses his word.

Psalms 104:5-9
He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them. You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth.
