The Portal

Magnificence

What do I see as I gaze upon 

These wondrous titans that shape the dawn

Their forms caress the florid sky 

Their peaks they tempt the weak to fly

Their slopes they stir the wary hearted

To change their pace and trek uncharted

They talk amongst the moon and stars

And speak of worlds both near and far

I cannot fathom them from below 

Their beauty instills the greatest of woes 

They tower above all that is mortal 

For we are just vessels and they are the portal

The sacred mountains. I grew up near Denali and the vision of it was always awe inspiring.

Well crafted poem.. I don't understand why you would hyphenate heartened, normally I see poeys doing that to force a rhyme but in this case there is no need to force it...?

Well I'm not quite sure why I did that... I will delete it.
