Sacredness of Mountain Solitude

The title poem from my upcoming collection:

There is something sacred about
    mountain solitude.
A life wholly other than
    the one we live below.

Is it the proximity to the heavens
    or the heavenly nearness of
    nature,
    or quiet,
    or a more peaceful rhythm to live by?

 The answers to these questions are beyond me.
 As beyond me as the mountains themselves.
