The Wonder of Skiing

LIVE.  BREATH.  SKI.

The wonder of skiing,

surly it is here;

the downhill dare -

& feeling truly alive,

with the sent of pine in the air.

The wonder of skiing,

racing onwards;

wild & free -

time is in motion,

with the sweet embrace of gravity. 

The wonder of skiing, 

standing tall,

wind in my hair -

it's a mode of living, 

with senses sharp & eyes aware. 

The wonder of skiing, 

a vast expanse;

stretching out far below -

earth glistening brightly,

cold & silent, blanketed in snow.
