the peak's ice beckons/ inviting you to try for

the peak's ice beckons
inviting you to try for
the impossible places
the vertical palaces
your eye can see
that would confer
such a lonely splendor
if you were up there
as if immortal bathed
in endless light

a lonely feeling
comes and goes
in the mind
of the climber

then a kind
of exaltation

most unspoken
thus unsullied
