One powder morning
Millions on millions of snowflakes
Thousands on thousands of ice crystals
sparkling in the frosted trees
Hundreds of skiers waiting in line
for the first chair, the first gondola
Dozens of lines, untracked slopes
to chose from
Sometimes a couple of tracks
from skiers who got there first,
woke up earlier than you did,
it doesn’t matter…
One mountain blanketed in fresh snow
One turn becoming two, three, four,
and on and on and on
till you lose track,
till you can hardly stand up
One perfect turn, effortless, floating
that repeats itself and never stops
that goes on forever
or at least until
this powder morning
is only a memory
