Everest
My last
step was my first on a new journey; my body could rest, my eyes took over. The
plateau stretched into night’s past and day’s birth. I stepped along my undiscovered
throne on the world. The wind whipped up; I tightened my hood, a king surveying
his greatest achievement.
In years at the summits, I’d never
seen such heaven. Our mountain’s cousins bathed in the same rosy morning glow.
Their points were sharp and jagged all around us, jutting into the blueing sky,
their glaciers sparkling like newly-discovered gems.
They simply reminded us where we
were: higher, taller, on top of the world.

I love it when I don't notice the prompt; you seamlessly wrote it into the piece and took me to a vision extreme. Thank you. :)
