Dark Mountains

For I have seen dark mountains in the sky,
More Himalayan to the naked eye,
Than any reason for our where or why.

Hands clasp to lift a measure of that height.
The gesture is as fragile as a kite
Against the massive, polarizing night.

And yet, my friend, I am content to be
A little part of that entirety.
All space my hands can hold belongs to me.

Wonderful Sandra, very powerful indeed, it captures humanity to a T. We are tiny little beings compared to this massive universe. Profound Sandra, love it.
