El Capitan - You Are A Joint

El Capitan - you are a joint
   Within the Sierra Nevadas
Of punctuated granite -
   A sentinel of the ages. 

Sylvestris partition -
   Beam of silver - or steel - 
Are you a step to heaven
   Or a capstone for hell?

Stern expression of peace - 
   Keeper of fortitude - 
Of what would you speak?
   Would I even understand you?
