the definition of a mountain
definition:
many mountains rise among and on top of each other,
one mountain, Walisiyi, a.k.a. Mt. LeConte,
rises abruptly from its base,
defining itself as unique,
brother and sister to its fellows, but standing out,
as if commanding the attention,
on top I feel it commands the view,
here on top, a homely lodge cradles on deep soil,
with great water and greater views,
unique again with such dependable water so close to the summit,
I sit here on the roofed porch of a 4 person cabin,
in a rocking chair gray and ageless as the clouds,
the valley below me as if in its plains truth,
clouds settle on the land below,
filling hollows like whipped cream spread as icing,
the gorgeous frasier fir before me
know how to live and thrive
through the biting cold of winter.

this mountain defines it.
