Cloud Piercers
<>
The Indigenous People
called them 'Cloud Piercers'
Majestic giants standing stately tall
Their heads above the clouds
Shrouded in a billowy white blanket
Looking down on such insignificance below
Bachelor and Hood two of their names
'Cloud Piercers' to this poet's mind Somehow more fitting

Comments: If you have traveled to Oregon, you know how Mt. Hood and Mt. Bachelor dominate the landscape, affect the weather, and are awe inspiring to behold. One can understand how early humans worshiped them as gods.
