The wind howls across
Heavy snow buries the world

Piercing heavenly soft, white cotton clouds,
Bursting into clear blue skies as Earth revolved,
And orbited the sun...

We recognize her sweet tranquility for what it...

It is too many Peaks towering high
Snow-capped giants scraping the sky
Mighty Himalayas
Cold winds howl and icy blasts sigh

It is too treacherous
Those jagged peaks were so perilous
Glaciers groan and shift
Avalanches roar, and the danger is furious

Villages clinging to precipitous slopes
Narrow trails wind
?Few dare...

She found a job near Annapurna and when she trekked around a turn
It was like walking into a wall of beauty, awesome like a burn
It sometimes stopped her cold; this display words could not surpass:  
Alpenglow on distant peaks, flags on a mountain pass.
