Mountain Twin - Joel Porter

Steadfast through a blanket white

Woven among narrow pines

Oh what a hallowed sight

Open air paired with stillness

The genesis of innocence

My burdens all a miss

Steal a breath fill it up with pine

Bits of closeness to divine

Thawing frost across my face

Melt away the masquerade

Right into a cascade

Stainless windows made of ice

Bring fourth from my cluttered mind

Bits of closeness to divine

High above streaks of modern sin and blurred vision

Find between white peaks the canyons leak an origin

Where I become my mountain twin

Steal a breath fill it up with pine

Bits of closeness to divine

Carving out with every step

A new name one with pertinence

A joy enthusiast

Now revealed with different eyes

My carefulness lent the disguise

To bits of closeness to divine

High above streaks of modern sin and blurred vision

Find between white peaks the canyons leak an origin

Hear the sound it hangs above the trees with resonance

Vacancy replaced by flowing creaks of eloquence

Where I become my mountain twin

Steal a breath fill it up with pine

Bits of closeness to divine

Steal a breath fill it up with pine

Bits of closeness to divine
