When I reach the ridgetop on the way to the summit, the wind & views of the vast expanse of jagged snowy peaks Breathe life into me. Heart thumping, no dead feeling inside today. How long the dark smothering cloud stays away...a mystery A wolverine! He brought me goosebumps. Extremely lucky if only for a moment...but I have no luck & only a few bucks The trees, the snow, the breeze, a grand show As I glissade...pure happiness My kind of descent, avoiding the dark plunge for now Is adventure the only thing that saves me? Next day soreness so satisfying But happiness is only a state of mind, fleeting Ill have to climb out of those depths again But for a while a depression cure Until another journey when I'll take those steps again A rise within....
