From Loved Ones & Friends
Poem from Michael Fishbein
She traverses
bold and strong
against the face of the mountain
bleached white,
filling herself with cold, blue air
and pure light,
trailing powder in her wake;
her heart soaring in
the joining
with granite,
with snow and wind
and air and light.
So much joy in her being
So much sorrow in her loss.
Life's cruel duet.
