(220) The Powderland Trek
The peripatetic nature
Of trekkers moving in winter
Following the herd through forage
Stead for photogenic landscapes.
For acreage elevation gains
That fortify one’s journal strains
Into the winter wander fields
Of frosty snow glistening chills
Below zero polar face mask!
It’s bitingly iced-kiss cold dash
To find shelter, pine tree enclave
From hypothermic wind we brave.
We fight off the wilderness beasts
In us to walk the barren leash
Jingling, snowbound, with sparking white
Snow veins dilate through extreme might
To understand why we summit!
Only the bold hawk dive! Witness!
To adrenaline creation
Of fresh daily powder nation.
