The Partnership
The mountain began
as a towering mass,
with peaks defined and steep.
The river began
to carve a crevasse,
with creeks inclined and deep.
The river
unceasingly eroded.
The mountain
ceded itself, unloaded.
Between the two
is a push and a pull,
the work of compromise.
A bond so true,
yet flexible.
The result, a canyon sunrise.
