In the arms of the mountain - v2

In the arms of the mountain - v2

years melted away

a week on your mountain

just up from the Blue Ox

spending time together

as one, our family.

held one more time

together, a family,

gathering on Sugarloaf

in the arms of the mountain

slopes we knew so well.

skiing together

old ways so familiar

smelling the wax, the cold,

heading for the slopes,

together, one more time.

gathering together

our families now gathered

around the fires, in the wind,

up on the mountain

that you loved so well.

a gift we still treasure

a perfect week, moments

this blessing, the mountain

the chance, an opportunity

to spend that time together.

so precious in our memory

the years bleeding away

with our family you loved

sharing that space, that time,

on the mountain you loved.
