Calls of the Winter Gleam

Mt Rainier

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
