Dónall Dempsey - Breaking The Mountain

I dive into
the mountain

shatter its reflection
its clouds scattering...rippling

the cold grey water
closes over

my human
form

as the mountain
quickly now
reforms

and its clouds
return like sheep.

there is only silence
where I have vanished

the surface reflecting
only stillness

and the stopping
of Time.

Centuries
seem to pass

as I
finally

return to the world
with a gasp

my eyes drinking in
the mountain

laughing with sunshine.
