Mountains rising high, they reach above a valley
To the Chinese people the mountains were alive
With characteristic traits and wisdom abundant
However, the mountains never reveal their ideas
They are immense, rising endless, truly intelligent
Should they seem silent, know that they abide
Existing for centuries, their grace resplendent
Each mountain unique, the galleries of the eons
Iconic monuments of wisdom lost, and gained
Centuries burning passed the future horizon
