in the shadows

Chasing land bathed in gold down the eastern side of pyramid peak
        moments before twilight
we followed lush greenery resting at the sides of the summer trickle forever
   cascading-
             filling

                   the 
                       lake 
                         below
skipping rock, descending boulder, sliding snow only delivered us to the
       light of the moon
under which we prayed and slept in peace
