"APP-UH-LATCH-A"
The mountains are a part
of everyday life here -
A living presence -
family.
Their outline is as familiar
as breath
Their steadfastness is as sure
as death.
A flat horizon would have
no meaning -
No streams and rills
or rolling hills,
No staggering precipices
of colorful autumn trees.
Life would be silent without these ~
winds from the peaks,
rippling creeks,
Or each distinctive call
of bird or beast.
The mountains give strength
with massive length
And the wisdom
of creation.
