the coolness of untainted air
seeps deep into your lungs,
as glacial peaks and frozen lakes
become your ladder rungs,
reaching new heights - expanding your sight,
a horizon, soon undone,
with visible breath and stolen speech -
eye-level with the Sun.

the coolness of untainted air
seeps deep into your lungs,
as glacial peaks and frozen lakes
become your ladder rungs,
reaching new heights - expanding your sight,
a horizon, soon undone,
with visible breath and stolen speech -
eye-level with the Sun.
