150 words

-by Luis Torres Urgell-

150 words. Not a word more.

How can I describe in 150 words how I feel about the mountain?

How can I describe what I feel when the wind whips my face and I go over the ridge?

How can I describe what I feel when my legs sink into the snow?

How can I describe what I feel when I reach that longed-for summit?

How can I describe what I feel on those cold mornings when I put my rucksack on my back?

How can I describe arriving at the shelter on a stormy day?

How can I describe the peace that the mountain gives me?

How can I describe what I feel when I look behind me or in front of the road and I always see her?

Or maybe it's too many words to simply say that the mountain is calling me and I have to go...with it?
