How High

Out of the rocks of time
 mountains are made
and
waters from snow cap glaciers
 fall into
memories pool
and
 flow into the river
of dreams

The trees there
grow straight
and tall
and
give us the joy
of color
in the fall

I am in awe
and consumed
by the shadow of the mountain
that engulfs my spirit

it's secret places
obscured
by the flora
and fona
of time
and
love

the sound from the
beat of my heart
echoes in the forest

lungs filled
with sweet mountain air
as if God
just breathed the breath of life
into them

How high does the mountain have to be

your standing on it
but
you didnt know

How high does the mountain have to be

It was carved
with the knife
of time
with the breath of God
and
tears from angels

under the rocks of time
are voices from the past
and the voices say
I Love You

Scard by life
the mountain
still stands
as a testament
to the tribulation
of the soul
and
the victory
of the spirit

The greatest men
have always been
mountainmen

It isnt the heights
of life
that make it a mountain
it's the mountain
that makes lifes hiegth

Each stone
each pebble
each boulder
and
each rock

are moments
and in some of those moments
are precious gold
