Mount Moriah and Other Summits

[Olympus, Dawn-- 5:03 a.m.]

There, where earth scathes sky,

Well-loved epicenter of

A thousand stories.

[Mount Moriah, 3:16 p.m.]

Boy on the altar,

And ram tangled softly in

The underbrush.

[Jabal al-Nour, 11:59 p.m.]

A thousand and one

Nights starless, waiting for God.

Grace upon that peak.
