I sign your name

cast upon these mountains
your glowing face
laced by summit's snow
sunlit graced by
timber growth and
hot spring flow
upon the middle slopes
cast there also longing
hope to join the
ancient peaks
(I am the one who seeks
a higher shining pinnacle
beyond earth's
vaulted ceiling)
kneeling by a craggy pine
I sign your name upon a
wind-smoothed rock
