Poem : Times Endless Dance: Peaks and Troughs

Poem about the ephemeral nature of mountains.

By Harinder SinghPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

In the vast expanse of Earth's grand tale,

Where time's slow dance on a grander scale,

Mountains mighty, with peaks so high,

Bow to time, and by and by.

Born from trembles, from deep below,

They rise with pride, majestically slow.

Yet as epochs pass and eons unfold,

Their lofty crowns to the winds are sold.

Valleys deep, in shadowy embrace,

Hold tales of a different time and space.

But give them time, more than you'd think,

They'll rise to peaks in a timeless blink.

For in this dance of geological play,

Mountains and valleys swap roles in the fray.

What once was high, will crumble and fall,

And what lay low, will rise above all.

Ephemeral, in the scope of Earth's gaze,

Are the mountains' heights and valleys' days.

For in the grand scheme of time's vast chart,

Both will change, and a new tale will start.
