Mountainside

Oh mountainside

you save me

from all the ungrounded

comings and goings

of my heart

You teach me

to sit still

and notice

all of the world unfolding

just here

Mountainside

you hold everything

bring the rain

to this place

clean the air and water

hold the soil

so it may produce

Mountainside of life

you, you shrouded beauty

you magical creature

you bosom of my life

thank you

for holding me so
