- | |
Putting the skis down | B |
in the white snow | C |
the wind singing | D |
the blizzard of time | E |
going past your eyes | F |
- | |
it is a little | G |
like being snowed in | H |
in the Connecticut house | I |
on a day when the world | J |
goes away | K |
- | |
and only the white dog | L |
follows you out | M |
to make fresh tracks | N |
in the long blue shadow | C |
of the mountain | O |
- | |
We are all halfway there | P |
preferring not | Q |
to think about it | R |
- | |
You went down the mountain | O |
first | S |
in a blaze of light | T |
reminding us | U |
to seize our lives | V |
to live with the wind | W |
whistling in our ears | X |
and the light bedazzling | L |
the tips of our skis | Y |
- | |
and the people we love | Z |
waiting in the lodge below | C |
scribbling lines | A2 |
on paper the color | B2 |
of snow | C |
- | |
knowing there is no | C |
holding on | C2 |
but only the wind singing | L |
and these lines of light | T |
shining | L |
in the fresh snow | C |
