Ohh humbling 'house of snow’,
climbing and climbing through the sky, 
your beauty is not how high you rise,
but sits in all that you let go. 

Shedding stone and ice,
you unearth glistening grace,
around and around the wheel of time you spin, 
in fluid harmony your essence sits.

You hug a womb of snow,
but let mother water flow, 
with the sun you dance, 
in a ballet of shadow and light, 
with the wind you fight, 
yet together music plays. 

Ohh cosmic big sister, 
how I am you and you are me, 
from the void we both came, 
made of dust and time, 
we rise and grow, 
we shed and flow, 
back to empty mother we shall happily go.
