We have climbed the mountain.
There's nothing more to do.
It is terrible to come down
To the valley
Where, amidst many flowers,
One thinks of snow,
As formerly, amidst snow,
Climbing the mountain,
One thought of flowers,
Tremulous, ruddy with dew,
In the valley.
One caught their scent coming down.
It is difficult to adjust, once down,
To the absence of snow.
Clear days, from the valley,
One looks up at the mountain.
What else is there to do?
Prayer wheels, flowers!
Let the flowers
Fade, the prayer wheels run down.
What have they to do
With us who have stood atop the snow
Atop the mountain,
Flags seen from the valley?
It might be possible to live in the valley,
To bury oneself among flowers,
If one could forget the mountain,
However, once looking down,
Stiff, blinded with snow,
One knew what to do.
Meanwhile it is not easy here in Kathmandu,
Especially when to the valley
That wind which means snow
Elsewhere, but here means flowers,
Comes down,
As soon it must, from the mountain.
Thanks to Todd for sharing this poem.

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm looking to start my
own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for
something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

I've loved this poem for many years. But when copying from one PC-system to the next, the poet's name got omissed. I am glad you can google headlines of poems! Now I'll never forget it again, hopefully.

Lovely poem, I had to analyse this one for my exams and couldn't help coming home and googling it :) Thanks for sharing :)
Kind of confused: thought the comments were to be about the poem, but most seem to be about food. Was fortunate to have had a very adventurous fist career. The poem conveys my feelings exactly when I recall the halcyon days. Brad
