Apathetic Apex
Billowing hanging clouds harmonize with snow dusted summits
Goats drift fluently from jagged peak to jutted base
their beards mimic each stir of the bitter breeze
The sun gently coaxes dawning shadows to retreat
reminding each entity of its appearance and punctuality
Existence is expelled across an
entire asymmetric expanse
yet unscathed snow provides an uncanny uniformity
Darkness attempts to reclaim its seized earth
only to be divided into thin unimpressive shadows
An enigmatic film coats the sharpened apex
densely obscuring a distant clarity
As dusk awakens from a shy and lengthy slumber
it shoves the sun beneath the anchored skyline
Deep reds and purples are emitted through the fog
the sun's tart tears pierce through the indifferent dusk
Nature looks on with a silent and unabated scorn
unwilling to interfere with the scuffle of her children
She stresses the dangers of her family's hostility
and how it can devastate the important infrastructure
But her offspring do not adhere to her advice
now that father time has cruelly abandoned them
She paces a long while, confused and dazed
unable to assert herself without another's affirmation
Eventually, she blindly wanders into a harsh sleep
doubting she'll encounter any respect by morning
