Soaring through the snowy week in glamorous attire

King of the Alpine traversing ski empire

In-bounds, snowploughing towards the opening glades

Innards begin to weaken, dignity fades

Naked snow adorned with last night's feast

Green run renamed – "Innards off-Piste"

Whispering color--whites, grays, icy blues, and browns,
Ice-intoxicated, Winter gyrates upon a crystal floor,
Naked, boldly iridescent in a freezing wrap of snow;
Temperance abandoned, the calming virtue her character avoids,
Eventually her dazzle will be forced latitudes away
Retreating the waxing sun's revitalizing rays.

I dealistic in quest for love and meaning
N aked to the onslaught of emotions
T enacious in holding on to happiness
E lectrified by the simplest of pleasures 
N otorious in desire to find fulfillment 
S ensual in thought, look, and demeanor
E bullinet in the celebration of life

Oh, the depth of wonder, pain, and sweetness
Encapsulated in this one, simple, glorious word…

Naked is the truth, stored in memory
Old wine savoured for us to make merry
Slipping thus into trance sedentary 
Time to time we do, rekindle the flame
Although in the now, things are not the same
Lightly we flit through dreams; life but a game
Going back also offers deep learning
In the here and now, wisdom imbibing
Ambedo musing, a divine blessing

Helpless is each one who breaks the life barrier,
Umbrellaed beneath earth's vaporous dome,
Marked with the blemishes of a blighted race.
Angels look down upon them, try to guard their faltering ways.
Naked they are born and naked they depart;
In between the poles an unknown span of days
To letter their life story, a tale woven of variegated yarns,
Yearners, always, for fulfilling Light.
