Vertigo Vestige

~ Mt. Baker Wilderness ~

From Twin Sisters Range © Ken James McLeod

Only rock ptarmigan near the top,
Summit pinnacle attained at last stop.

Blue-ice glaciers beneath the summer solstice sky,
Sliver of moon looking like a cats eye.

Vertical "breath" descends a thousand feet,
Wings like Pegasus if I fall from cleat.

Emerald lakes far below,
Old growth forests, distant peaks, and volcano, steal the show.

And I just a mere man,
Nothing more than an ant in the grand plan . . .
