Heat Rises High

heat rises high up
yet the top of the mountain
is covered with snow.

That happens, Vijay. Beyond a certain altitude, it will be icy chill. A great haiku.

You project a lovely image, Vijay. This has a metaphorical flavor to it...contrasting emotions. ~ I've been on snow covered mountains where I even managed to get sunburnt. This reminds me of an old Italian song called 'Ghiaccio Bollente"...Boiling Ice. Regards // paul
