Namgyal Wangdi - Sherpa Tenzing
How much like my uncertain destination
Your climb from drab youth began
In cold ascent from marginalization
To the peak of honored man.
And rare, so rare, fame instant
And accolades that upon you in vintage poured
Was that they were cognizant
There is no summit except that which you assured?
Your brown feet on white face of snow
Slip-proof, the journey yield its cold, callous distance
And nothing so warm as the glow
Of a motivated heart where sharp snowflakes dance
