Mirrors of the passing glacial mountain river
Deeply hollowed as the precipitous valley
Chameleons to their natural surroundings
Jewels more precious than any stone
Oh those eyes
Hold everything
My insatiably parched soul craves to drink in
Nourishing and comforting

Calloused as the surrounding granite cathedrals
Sculpted over time much like the glaciers path

And his hands express what my heart already knows
A spirit of the mountains
Going about his chores
Quietly existing in our world
