Mountain Climb

I thread my way
climb the mountain
in salt crusted shoes
landscape takes
my breath away 
clouds around my head
I sit to dine on bread
gravity works against me
shadow descends
plans gone awry
I have a sense of dread

  2. I love how you take us to this beautiful place, and then send a chill down upon us. :) Nicely penned.

  3. It must be the lack of oxygen from the climb. However I agree going back down is something to dread! A beautifully compact piece.
