nevertheless it is not her job to console the weary, sight the blind, or heal the sick.
she remains planted, a beacon of inspiration for those who seek it.
she hears the cries of their hearts and collects them as piles of snow on her peaks, vowing to remain.
when they reach the top, sun glistens on the snow like glittery trophies of battles won.
the mountain smiles to herself as they rest in her arms.
this is how valleys are formed.
the sun beams warmer, melting the snow.
water rushes to the valleys below, tucking themselves into the lines of her smile with a rush of force.
this is how rivers are formed.
the cycle repeats itself time and time again, til there is nowhere else for the snow-tears to go.
rock is eroded into a shallow bowl, a delectable pit where passers by can drink in her depths.
ex-dreamers are nourished by the fruits of the fighters, those who have battled and won.
reignited, they begin their trek to the top of the mountain, gritting their teeth as they scale her walls.
and so again the cycle repeats.
one day, the depths can no longer contain what is held within.
water spills out of her mouth, spewing itself upon the land.
cleanse me in the body of souls
which know not whether to lay waste or to rise up and conquer,
whose pieces have been scattered in ruin for all to see, a solemn warning of what future awaits should they dare try and misstep.
..:: thread ::.. Let’s work off the assumption that we are in fact, not robots.
Like it or not, as humans we all have emotions; we just may emote in different ways. [spoiler alert, this is okay and actually great]
Some people gush out all their feelings, singing the praises of those they love, while others notice ways to improve the lives of others and perform acts of service.
Others will give sentimental tokens of their affection, etc.
