Lone cloud standing guard
Protecting the mountain top
Preparing to strike
Sandy dry creek bed
Quiet steps, still mountain air
Deafening silence
Mountain snow melting
Drips, trickles, flows, gushes down
River roars below
Immense granite face
Unmovable foundation
My strength flows from you
Blacked out hotel room
Wake confused with mild panic
Slopes outside await
Wispy whites and grays
Obscured view of vague foothills
Bright peak shines on high
Snow crowns the mountain
Majestic robe of timber
King of the dawn light
