The Joy Of Climbing

by admin May 15, 2013 No Comments

Long Climb to Namche

The sun burns quietly
The thin air resists the drag
From our nostrils
Then suddenly
Turns into a bold, searing wind
Blasting past like unseen ships
Weaving through the white columns and peaks.

It’s no red carpet
This dusty trail.
Punishing steps,
Choking dust.
I treat each step
Like a piece of snack
I draw and bite into
Till I empty the bag
Before it empties me
As I slowly ascend
Pulling away from the valley floor.
The white fury of the river
Is now silenced by the distance
Then all I hear is a Himalayan hymn.
