Silence of the Mountain

It came undone,

Then, there were none,

Save one,

Me.

Sitting, on a silent peak,

Reaching for the stars,

Asking for heaven's guidance,

And advice for all of man.

The wind it blew,

A mighty howl,

Fiercely tossing me side to side,

Yet I waited, undeterred, for the smallest of signs.

From flowers blooming,

To leaves dying,

I counted the years flitter by,

Until, no longer could I listen to the silence of the skies.

I screamed,

I shouted,

Until my voice gave way,

Only quietness gave me a reply.

I ran away,

From that place,

Defeated,

Tears now in my eyes.

Into the world,

Of man, I found myself,

Wishing,

For the silence, on the hill.

Yet, there was no returning,

For it was pillaged,

By the greedy hand,

Of man.
