High up the NEK Mountains

High up in the NEK mountains,
where the sky feels within reach,
dark and darker clouds gather,
pulling my spirits down,

Everything feels weighted,
the air thick with unknown tensions,

Then, a hint of sun breaks through the gloom,
casting a soft light
transforming the landscape.

In that moment, a smile emerges,
Lifting my spirit,
bringing warmth to my soul.

Embraced by the elements,
aware of its balance,
the trick of light and dark,
and its God-like power.
