Kinda sad, and maybe out of season, but How's this?

Mama told me ta

Only play on the mountaintop

She said 

Please don't slip down.

But, I like the ice crystals 

That lay atop its surface.

Its like a bed, soft and engulfing

While laying in it, I even drift to sleep.

I was just playing 

On the Mountain's peek.

I just wanted

To slide away for a moment.

I did.

The freezing blanket swept me away

And in an avalanche of laughter

I let it carry me down

Buried, but never reaching the bottom.

Hiding in a white cave with no breathing space

I waited for Spring to melt away the ice

In the meantime I slept

And I dreamed of Mama's cold tears.

When all the snow melted away from me

A woke up and looked about

And found I was in 

The Garden of Eden.

A big voice told me I was home

He said

The mountain's gone

It's all uphill from here.
