Ski As I glide through the snow I realize the world The world of peace and tranquility The world of timeless beauty Hearing the crunching of the snow With every stride of my skis below me Brings a renewed smile to my face My cold cheeks become flushed With the blood from my ear to ear grin What better way to live #life Than to glide through #life To feel the rush each icy gust of wind brings Making you feel so alive Why must this season end so soon Why must Mother Nature play such a cruel joke Why must she make this beautiful white canvas Disappear for such a long period of time Why must we crave winter Like a frozen white drug Making us search the world over To continue our search For the peace and tranquility we yearn after Year after year we go through this We go through this cruel joke being played upon us The white disappears The bright green of spring starts to appear Leading into the lush green of summer Soon it will be fall again The browns, goldens and beautiful reds Adorning the hillsides we continue to gaze upon The hillsides we keep staring at In the hopes we will see our favorite season Begin once again We continue to stare We continue to believe that those colours of fall Are turning into the white The white we so crave So we can once again glide through the crystals The crystals of snow that bring so much hapinness To our lives To our souls
