How High is the Mountain

How high is the mountain 
 How deep is the snow 
How green is the valley 
Where the wild rivers flow. 
The song of the bird that floats overhead 
 Sings to my soul whispering words long unsaid. 
The flash of lightening, the booming clap of thunder 
 Belies the gentle drumming of falling rain 
 The soft muted colors of a rainbow 
Send shivers of wonder straight to my soul. 
The tall blackened sentinels from a long ago fire. 
Standing guard over this land 
While the forest floor begins to glow 
With returning flowers to soothe my soul.
