Mountain

Into the pink of setting suns.

I buried myself under mountains

hoping one day someone would find me.

But all I found

was darkness in these caves.

And all the world was lost.

And all of what I was as well.

Until I became the rock of the mountain.

Carved into stone steps,

for people to use until they've found

what they were looking for.

And now I watch them go

disappearing into the pink of setting suns.
