A Moment On The Mountain
 

A haunting whistle echoes 
through the chill of winter air,
ringing through the evergreens
and dancing on the snow.

Beneath majestic mountains 
that tower overhead
a lonely train snakes leisurely 
along the river’s edge.

Perched upon the canyon wall
it weaves amongst the rocks,
while far below, the water licks
the mighty mountain’s feet.
