Another day is slowly drawing to a close Subtle hues of variable colors of the spectrum Skiers which have been on the trails by daylight A hushed serenity descends throughout the land
GitteŠ
Enthralling me with the descending sun
Casting it's crimson reds and brilliant gold's
Upon the virgin snow surrounding the ski run
Mingle with the billowy mist hovering lightly
Over the blanketed white of the valley beneath
Producing a wondrous panoramic view nightly
Now sit, warming themselves by a roaring fire
Watching this amazing atmospheric phenomenon
Bedecking the countryside with ecclesiastical attire
Welcoming the quietness of the darkened night
My spirit is rejuvenated by the serene calmness
While watching the glorious sunset slowly ignite
