The Lone Sentinel

 Day-11 NaPoWriMo-2022

Prompt: To write about something huge.

image from the internet.

Encrusted in the misty heights;

grounded precipice, penetrating virgin skies.


The tranquility of silence,

embossed on your skin, with everlasting resilience.


Looking at you, tall and mighty

a mere human is filled with humility.


Your stoic countenance 

bears testimony, to a timeless resonance.


You are forbidden and extreme,

a passion of many, a daredevil's dream,


Always wonder whether you ever feel lonely and sad,

standing tall, forlorn, and gazing at the world.

  2. Nice tribute to the peak. I have a friend who may have climbed this, she is a tugboat captain here at our Port of Houston. I like climbing small and easy mountains, never would be this one.
    Have a nice day.

  3. You've painted the strength and the softness of this mighty mountain with your words Sunita. Lovely.

  4. A lovely tribute to the tallest peak. The picture itself overwhelms. You bring out the strength of being the tallest and the loneliness at the top very well.
