Mountain Twin

Steadfast through a blanket white Woven among narrow pines Oh what a hallowed sight Open air paired with stillness The genesis of innocence My burdens all a miss Steal a breath, fill it up with pine Bits of closeness to divine Thawing frost across my face Melt away the masquerade Right into a cascade Stainless windows made of ice Bring fourth from my cluttered mind Bits of closeness to divine High above streaks of modern sin and blurred vision Find between white peaks the canyons leak an origin Where I become my mountain twin Steal a breath, fill it up with pine Bits of closeness to divine Carving out with every step A new name, one with pertinence A joy enthusiast Now revealed, with different eyes My carefulness lent the disguise To bits of closeness to divine High above streaks of modern sin and blurred vision Find between white peaks the canyons leak an origin Hear the sound it hangs above the trees with resonance Vacancy replaced by flowing creaks of eloquence Where I become my mountain twin Steal a breath, fill it up with pine Bits of closeness to divine Steal a breath, fill it up with pine Bits of closeness to divine
