The Hollow Mountain

The great Rocky Mountain trembled 

and opened his hollow eyes 

 

He trembled again

and cried surging waterfalls down his mountainside

Flooding the Village of Stoics below

 

Never have they seen such a sight

True sadness and pain expressed by the Rock

So they cried, too

 

The great Sob that thundered and shook the world

Flooded and rushed in pulsating waves

Exterminating grime 

Polishing existence into a fine, clear Gem

 

In the decrescendo of tears and sobs

Clouded skies open up to a swirling Blue

And the Mountain smiles - no longer hollow

He has been fully realized

And he came to Life
