Big Mountain
big mountain on the rise
thrusting up through the plain
it splits an empty sky
to mark a new terrain
big question on my mind
conundrum caught between
the mores of space and time
the force of things unseen
remember when the cataclysm came
a gaping rift that severed heart from brain
remember now how powerless i was
the precipice beckoned like
a vacant promise does
long stretch of road behind
approaching rapid change
larimer county line
my path of sacred pain
long years i've sought to find
through aimless walks and dreams
a rock, a coin, a sign
precious redemptive things
remember when the cataclysm came
a gaping rift that severed heart from brain
remember now how powerless i was
the riverbed beckoned like
a vacant promise does
tall tale to sell or buy
why call it out by name
cold water running high
warm bodies tread in vain
tall time to build a bridge
over the river wide
attempt to heal the rift
and scale the mountain high
forever then though now is a new day
struggle to bridge the split from heart to brain
however looms the mountain over land
rest assured too this edifice
will crumble into sand
thrusting up through the plain
it splits an empty sky
to mark a new terrain
big question on my mind
conundrum caught between
the mores of space and time
the force of things unseen
remember when the cataclysm came
a gaping rift that severed heart from brain
remember now how powerless i was
the precipice beckoned like
a vacant promise does
long stretch of road behind
approaching rapid change
larimer county line
my path of sacred pain
long years i've sought to find
through aimless walks and dreams
a rock, a coin, a sign
precious redemptive things
remember when the cataclysm came
a gaping rift that severed heart from brain
remember now how powerless i was
the riverbed beckoned like
a vacant promise does
tall tale to sell or buy
why call it out by name
cold water running high
warm bodies tread in vain
tall time to build a bridge
over the river wide
attempt to heal the rift
and scale the mountain high
forever then though now is a new day
struggle to bridge the split from heart to brain
however looms the mountain over land
rest assured too this edifice
will crumble into sand
