lots to love
------------

i wonder - 
  are mountains more impressive
    seen from above
      where their true magnitude
      can be fully appreciated
  or seen from below
    forced to climb
    to thier foggy tops?

how do you ever know where the tallest point is?
  you must climb them all
    and still have no way
    to measure
    as you gaze out through
      limited visibility
    at an ambiguous sea of height.

mountains
  here, there, above, on, below, near, far...
  they are merely big
    not strong, not permanent
    just big.

        lots to love.
