Mountains fold the distance
like hands in quiet grace;
the elk become the sermons
that time cannot erase
You trace the veins of granite
the glacier’s solemn chord;
the silence builds a temple
without a single word
The air recalls first language
before the towns were born;
we stand inside its memory
unbuttoned to the morn
When dusk reclaims the peaks’light
and snow invents a psalm—
we leave our echoes sleeping
beneath the alpine calm
