To Ascend

Image and poem by Isabelle Sorrells


These are the lands of giants,

Towers of Babylon that reach through the sky

And surpass clouds.

Villages and cities seek refuge at their feet,

And I am amazed they’ve resisted the urge

To Ascend

And never come down.

I see the peaks

And can’t stand that I’m still on the ground.
