On Snowy Heights
Muscles move
Breath heaves
Earth recedes
Under foot
Air bites
Forest hides
Clouds form
For briefest moment
World blinks
Once or twice
Sky washes
With pale light
Bathed in blue
Trees behind
Lofty peak
Looms above
Onward and upward
Snow under boots
Crunch and crumble
On the slope
Gust of wind
Sings in ears
Clouds light up
With blazing fire
Feet rest
Their duty done
For eyes to gaze
With clear mind
Smile lines
Planet below
Soul enriches
On snowy heights
