So long as there is snow on the Mountain - v2

 So long as there is snow on the Mountain - v2


So long as there is snow on the Mountain

our conversation starter, our lament

in the in-between time between Winter and Spring;

Never mind the calendar, the date,

the Mountain is in control.


So long as there is snow on the Mountain

there will be wind, cold, disquiet

a slowing of our moving forward;

We will not know Spring

in its fullness, completely.


So long as there is snow on the Mountain

we will struggle in transition

in a lingering of Winter;

We will shiver in our clothing

yearning for Spring.
