Explanation

Across the misty mountains spread
Thoughts that glow in the sights
Of powdered snow that has wed
With the hills that glitter white

To reach the destination high
Hiding behind the clouds for now
To find the answers scrolled in sky
That explain everything somehow

Sometimes sought when all is falling
Feeling lost in the mist, alone
Reaching for one’s calling
On a sparkling path, the sun has shown
