Dhaulagiri

Illuminated by sunset
In bright blue light
A valley deep among mountains steep
A throne of ice in clear sight

Face of death, nature's fortress
Iced by the edge of time
A wall of rock stands in my way
On the way to sure death

North face? West face?
Blind faith is all you've got?
Courage dictates the plot
There's million ways to fall

Facing death at the frost caress
Called too many, too soon
A throne of stone became their curse
A place on earth remote as the moon

Higher!

Take a step
Into thin air divine
Climb to accelerate the ladder of truth
Take a leap
Into your mind's deepest dreams
To reach your inner self's esteem

Your life is lost
Until your self begins

All thoughts coalesce
Her glazing bliss raining down
To fear, to love, to grieve and exist
The closure falls

A realm of snow and ice persist
Here on Dhaulagiri
Its wonder is shaped by force and thunder
Blazing down on me

Face of death, nature's fortress
Ice throne, force divine
A wall of rock stood in my way
On the way to success

Take a step
Into thin air divine
Climb to accelerate the ladder of truth
Take a leap
Into your mind's deepest dreams
To reach your inner self's esteem

Your life is lost
Until your self begins

All thoughts coalesce
Her glazing bliss raining down
To fear, to love, to grieve and exist
The closure falls

A realm of snow and ice persist
Here on Dhaulagiri
Its wonder is shaped by force and thunder
Blazing down on me
