Sshh

The pale morning sun, upon our faces

A crisp cold wind, stinging our eyes

The tall bare pines, towering above us

Little patches of snow, on yellow green grass

Melting, flowing in tiny wet streaks

Rugged white peaks almost within reach

The absolute calm, no synthetic sounds

Just birds chirping in their merry world

The soft  rustle of dry twigs and leaves

Crushed under our feet, as we walk

Sshh, tread gently, lest we break this trance

Our minds resting, yet communing somehow

With the spirits of the Mountain Gods
