Mountains

I’d like to feel

As

Though

I’m doing it right

Whatever it is


As right as I can

And let that be good enough


And then I cry

Mountains of tears


Shedding my false fears


They were a mirage

Salty desert landscape

That jumped up

To pretend

To be

My savior


And now

I see merely

Horizon

Sand


And isn’t it beautiful

When wet

With

My own

Mountains of tears

Sinking

Sliding

Deeper


To nourish

The earth

With their majesty

Of truth
