A Silverback's Silvertip

(Silvertip Mtn, Delta Range - Sept 2008)

Rime encrusted steel points,
Settle icy awakenings.
Frail whispers patiently warm,
Crystalline blowing clouds.
Blended vistas framed in gray,
Tear squinting eyes.
Frozen pink valleys divide,
Sight, sound, route.
Precarious, precipitous rock falls,
Crumble, skip, hop.
Clamoring creeks coolly cascade,
Meditative Zen gardens.
Silverback ravaged earthly aromas,
Stain nylon green.
