Impaling the mountainside, icy and unforgiving
Trying to overcome the highest of obstacles
Freezing within the heavily-downed jacket
The formation on my eyelashes of icicles.
Climbing to the peak do I strive for
Slowly but surely do I progress
Not stopping for the wind, the cold, the pain;
There’s no time for a recess.
My breath freezes as soon as it leaves my mouth,
Gasping in complete awe at the sight.
I have finally reach my destination, the peak,
So I leave my mark at this height.
With a flag proclaiming my victory
Do I make the fatal mistake.
Staying too long without concern,
Does the ice begin to break.
As the earth begins to tremble under me,
I take my final breath,
Stumbling backwards,
Falling to a cold, sudden death.
