Mile High

Mile High

I awake to the sound of a dynamite blast, then another!
Clearing the path for ardent outward bound skiers 
Restless limbs
Pop out of bed with eager anticipation
Outside, fresh un-groomed powder
Dawn’s early lights dance playfully on the snow
Sharp edges, freshly waxed skis, warm gloves
Ear to ear grin
Earthly Heaven Awaits
