So long as there is snow on Katahdin - v2
“So long as there is snow on Katahdin...”,
our conversation starter, our lament each springtime,
our glasses half-full while they are overflowing
caught 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 Katahdin
the Great Mountain, Pamola, that presence
there will be wind, cold, disquiet in our spirits
slowing our moving forward;
We will not know Spring
in its fullness, completely.
So long as there is snow on Katahdin
we will struggle in transition
caught in a lingering of Winter
seeing white with the green, the chartreuse;
We will shiver in our clothing
yearning for Spring.
So long as there is snow on Katahdin
mornings will remain chilly,
boots and jackets at the ready
with a hint of Winter still present;
We will burst through Spring into Summer
as the Mountain releases its grip.
