Mountains

Go to the Mountains
where the stars are
the size of ping pong balls.

Put it on your tongue
and you can see the paddles.
Cosmic light shows reflected
in pupils the size of planets.

Acid cheats God's whirling paintbrush
but the human eye alone
cannot understand beauty.

Amongst the wild...
Here one can truly appreciate
age and perseverence.

It is older here than anything
that humans ever made
untouched
unappreciated
but beautiful to me.
