On top of the world looking down
Oh what a site to behold
Perched on the peak
All around is sparkly white
No sound can be heard
No soul can be seen
Only the ends of the earth
It takes your breath away
I move to the edge
Check my balance
The only way is down
Shift my body weight and I'm gone
Over the point of no return
The wind rushes past
The ground passes even quicker
Dropping down through the clouds
It's hard to find the safe route
As i turn the powder sprays behind me
You know the power the mountain has over you
The snow breaks and gives chase
Lapping at my heels
It's all or nothing now
Breaking through back to the sunshine
Golden snowflakes in the air like its raining fairy dust
Looking back over my shoulder I am winning
Nothing can stop me now
Virgin snow so pure and blessed
Surely I am in heaven
As I shred the last few moments
Realisation of the beauty of the scene fills my heart and soul
The summit existing out of sight but you know it's real
I was there
My face is cold but i feel alive
So glad of that fact
As I look around I am surrounded by more giants
I unclip my board, smile and start walking back towards heaven...
