So small

Standing against a backdrop

Of monolithic mountains so dark,

I hold my breath afraid to whisper

I can’t see how I can leave a mark,

In the same way as these giant mountains

Who’ve witnessed more than I could ever know,

And I feel so small beneath it’s shadow,

It’s just so hard to even comprehend

And I am in awe of its structure and status,

Knowing it will remain when all else ends.
