Standing on the highest point
Reflective snow surrounding me
Oxygen depleted and a mask recieving
Icy gloves crumple at the slightest movement
Heavy boots lag as I stand still
A sliver of skin exposed to the elements goes cold
Looking through clear goggles
I watch as the omniscient sun rises over the horizon
Colors of orange and yellow flood the mountain top
Clouds part as the light takes its presence
My journy of hardships led to this moment
A coming of age I needed to experience
The life changing miracle I will always cherish
