Your mountains hum with elemental grace—stone lungs exhaling timeless fire, cracks cradling dawn’s first blush. I hear their hymn: a slow, molten psalm.

each ridge a heartbeat carved by time’s slow fist.
Fire, that alchemist of dust to gold,
curves through their bones, a sap invisible,
turning iron roots to veins of flame.
What cracks the earth may yet hold dawn.
They do not age; they *unfold*.
