These peaks
By Justin Sturtz, US Army Veteran
These peaks
Let us disconnect
See the beauty in the simplicity
See the complexity of nature
These peaks
Did not speak but they listened
To our laughter
To our stories
To ourselves
These peaks
Bore witness to the things we could not speak
To the weight we carry in silence
To wounds we forgot we had
These peaks
Offered no answers
Just the space
The space to search within
For who we are
Before the noise changed us
Oh, these peaks, taught us more than we will realize
