These distant mountains speak

(I really don't have a title for this. Titles are not my strength.)

These distant mountains speak                          -I want to clean it up by removing These, but then it seems to fizzle out a bit
in tones too low for the living to hear.                   and lose a personable quality/specification.
Winter snow,
nestled on peaks
and crags,
is a single syllable --
a soft vowel sound.                                               -really clever


I cannot hear the language  
of these mountains,
though I listen,
my bare feet
on stony soil,
my lips wet
with glacial waters.


I sometimes hear the echo
of those words
in the footfalls
of a cottontail rabbit,
in the hissing of a
rattlesnake hiding
in the tall, summer grass.                                     -love how it ends in finality, hinting a reminder of truth



I like this poem. It is a blessing. I wish I could write like this,
in a such a way that others are helped and blessed. I hope
you find the perfect title.
