On the Horizon the Peaks Assembled

On the Horizon the Peaks Assembled - meaning Summary

Mountains in Motion

A speaker watches distant peaks form on the horizon and imagines them coming alive, marching toward him while proclaiming their arrival. The brief poem presents nature as an intentional, almost military force whose movement feels inevitable and emphatic. Its spare language yields a concentrated moment of awe and foreboding, turning a simple landscape sighting into a dramatic encounter between observer and an advancing, vocalized natural presence.
