I dive into <br />the mountain <br /> <br />shatter its reflection <br />its clouds scattering...rippling <br /> <br />the cold grey water <br />closes over <br /> <br />my human <br />form <br /> <br />as the mountain <br />quickly now <br />reforms <br /> <br />and its clouds <br />return like sheep. <br /> <br />there is only silence <br />where I have vanished <br /> <br />the surface reflecting <br />only stillness <br /> <br />and the stopping <br />of Time. <br /> <br />Centuries <br />seem to pass <br /> <br />as I <br />finally <br /> <br />return to the world <br />with a gasp <br /> <br />my eyes drinking in <br />the mountain <br /> <br />laughing with sunshine.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/breaking-the-mountain/
