Majestic mountain
beckons in the sun, a hypnotic call,
a gleaming vision that enthralls hikers and skiers
Its slopes has secrets no one knows
Over 400 died in the dangerous divides
Hazardous rescues, some with good results, yet
many never leave its slopes.
Ghosts in the valleys, rivers and rocks,
or buried in ice crevasses
frozen bodies or river bed bones

I went in the spring and the allure is strong.
I'm ok to just look and stare with awe and wonder. I admire the brave souls who dare the beast. Life is adventure, some braver than most. Stunning pics, breathtaking view.
beautiful and devastating
Oh no, that's so sad. Were those two bodies identified? Loved your poem and photo!
