Mountains from Earth by Celesterre

Tectonic forces and volcanism formed the giants of the earth
Landforms stretching high and mighty above the surrounding land
Weathered and eroded capriciously by glaciers, rivers and storms
The craggy path to a cold summit holds dangers for those who enter upon

No man can conquer a mountain
Surviving a visit is all he can achieve
The climb is steep, the rocks are distorted as levels of oxygen decrease
In the mountains…

O mountaineer...
Don’t you feel mocked by the grandeur of all that surrounds you?
On this altitude the precipice grins at you
Are you aware how few of you survived here?
You should have looked at these animals and plants
How well they are adapted and equipped…

But no man can conquer a mountain
Surviving a visit is all he can achieve
The climb is steep, the rocks are distorted as levels of oxygen decrease
In the mountains…

The roof of the earth stretches out high and at the summit nothing can live permanently
Treacherous rocks and avalanches
And deep caverns in glaciers lurk
In the mountains…
