The Conglomerate Lode

my heart beat quickens 

for

there in the center the mountain peaks stretching 10,000 plus feet gleam in winter’s beauty

oh what majesty

i can stare for hours

the strong northeasterly wind drives me back into the warmth, comfort of the Scion

through the dirt speckled window i continue the gaze

is it really worth the energy to climb, give up safety and security of a warm cabin?

i will never know for that is not a dream

instead, snap, a photo is captured
