His eyes survey
the beauty
That surrounds
him all around
From the mighty
soaring eagle
To the snow
packed frozen ground.

He feels no cold
as he watches
For he is warmed
by sun and awe
Of the gentle
winter wonderland
Though the winds
are blowing raw.

His heart is
filled with pride
For the lovely
mountains high
Gently capped
with snow
As they stretch
to meet the sky.

He is filled
with peace and love
And never shall
he roam
Beyond the snowy
mountains
For in this
place…he is home.
