The Edge of Winter
Edition 2004

It is evening.
The sun is setting
In an empty winter sky.
And it is very quiet.
I sit
On A high, precarious exposure,
drinking in the cool night air.
It tastes and smells frosty and sweet,
As if straight
From the inner courts of God,
I can almost eat it.
The air is bracing and Bone-dry
It is tinged
With the bitter paralyzing cold of elevation.
And it tells me of boundless windy heights,
Where people have to wear protective suits
And carry their own oxygen to breathe.
And there seems to be absolutely nothing
Between me
And the void of interplanetary space.
And it feels good.

the description in this took me there, to that place.....

There IS nothing between you and the great starry skies, the wide open spaces.
