Skiing Backwards

Snow
Drifting
Over
Gliding skis
quietly
steeper ever
rapidly as 
vast palace frozen 
joy our young spirits
white mountainside
dreaming hearts free
our playground
majestic
slope deep
silent
white

Reverse: white silent deep slope majestic playground our free hearts dreaming mountainside white spirits young our joy frozen palace vast as rapidly ever steeper quietly gliding skis over drifting snow
