a drift-covered mountain, aglow.

The mountains shift beneath our feet,
displacing sand and stone.

but each one takes a different ride.
Some fall head-first like Alice did
while others take a measured stride.

Surely His hand could stay the devastation terror brings.
He made the mighty waters and the vast, eternal skies;
no living creature falls to earth unseen before His eyes.
