Mist shrouds the mountains [249] 16 lines
Mist shrouds the mountains

I

Mist shrouds the mountains,
the mountains turning white;
deep in dark valleys
old pines discuss the sight.

Fires quelled in autumn
yet embers warm their feet;
hearts reduced to ash
beneath the pall still beat.

II

You stand there looking up at me
and wondering out loud
how you could climb my mountain
so hesitant — so cowed.

But I will surely thunder back
beneath my thinning crest
that lessons of my youth still glow
to guide you on your quest.
