Mountain Haiku

By Berniegourley @berniegourley

pounding drums
echo down the valley
birds calm
deep breath
fog dissipates
common peril
fog follows
will it catch us
before the pass

cow grazes
on the high trail
dispiriting
glaciers glow
in sunrise orange
forge iron, not

on the ridge
falls can be lethal
worth it
