Himalayas

It is too many Peaks towering high Snow-capped giants scraping the sky Mighty Himalayas Cold winds howl and icy blasts sigh It is too treacherous Those jagged peaks were so perilous Glaciers groan and shift Avalanches roar, and the danger is furious It is too remote Villages clinging to precipitous slopes Narrow trails wind ?Few dare venture where only mountain folk cope It is too unforgiving Altitudes leave climbers gasping for air Lack of oxygen Only the most fit and resilient dare It is too unpredictable Weather changing in a breathless beat Blizzards raging Whiteout conditions, a frozen white sheet It is too isolated Valleys cut off from the world outside High passes are closed For seasons long, communities abide It is too well-known range by Sherpas Reading the signs, they alone can guide Tales of the Yeti In that vast wilderness, they reside It is too extraordinary These mountains that the human spirit defy The mystical call To summit those peaks where only brave hearts crave
