mighty hills on both sides
the haughty river dancing jovially
the sight made my heart tremble
like an anxious bride-to-be…
melting frost and snow
began to slowly hypnotize
my wild wild heart
and this chagrined mind…
amidst cloud-kissing peaks
and pines so sky-high
I forgot how lonely I was
despite no soul in sight…
my heart grew fertile
rosy dreams galore
I felt like a new person
on a frozen wintry road…
