The man tried everything he could,
but before the mountain he was silenced.
A face of stone glares down at him,
contempt in it's eyes at his efforts.
He tries to climb the mountain,
only to be cast down.
He tries to cajole the mountain,
only to meet thunderous silence.
He screams to the sky,
why can't he be the one to overcome it.
The air grows quiet,
until the sky answers the mans call.
"You will never overcome the mountain,
you're not the one destined to reach the peak.
Respect the mountain for what it did for you,
not what you want from it."
The man listens to the sky,
taking its words to heart.
The mountain may never move for him,
but it did move him.
