Mountain nightmare

A mountain range
      is my darkest nightmare.
Midnight cold
      freezes my insecure feelings
Chill winds
      pierce my bleak hopes
Camp fires
      burn on my possessions
Warm sunsets
      take away my breath
Endless abyss
      swallows my deepest fears
Calm lakes
      wash my clever pretence
Here I am
      reduced
            to a happy man.
