The Shadow of a Mountain

'TALL AND STRAIGHT' From Visual Counterpoint

In the shadow of a mountain,
Tall trees grow,
As if the ground itself lifts them up,
So they share the sunlight.

In the shadow of a mountain,
Eagles learn to fly,
As if the air itself lifts them up,
So they share the sky.

In the shadow of a mountain,
Lies the earth’s spirit,
As if sleeping at the foot of a giant,
So she shares her dreams.
