The Snow Goddess is a poem inspired by this QT Luong black and white photograph at the site

The Snow Goddess
Flying high above the clouds
Where the air is rare
Gazing down to the world below
Transfixed without a thought or care
Fluffy white clouds hang densely
Like fairy floss clinging to a stick
Careful not too breathe too deep
or else the altitude could make you sick
The sky stretches calmly before me
As it quietly arises from its sleep
As the winter wind whispers seductively
As it caresses the rugged valleys deep
Even here in Mother Nature’s lair
They are driven to succeed
To reach the highest of the high
Which no one can ever impede
I see the peaks of the mountain
Pushing their way to the top
Straining to catch the sun’s rays
To bask and warm its rocky outcrop
Yet way atop the Alps on high
Not effected by the solar flare
Lies the icy heart of the snow goddess
For anyone to conquer if they dare
She calls the knights to battle
On the slopes of rock and snow
To see the stuff they’re made of
And to challenge how far they’d go
So if you want to ride the clouds
To heaven’s gate where she awaits
Do not battle her with sword or armour
Instead take her as your life long mate
Her many defences will become useless
For love emancipates the ties that bind
Opens the expanses of expression and heart
Then frees the boundaries of the mind
You’ll see her rock wall begin to crumble
As the pathway is open for you to come on in
From today you will never be alone anymore
My darling take my hand now and let’s begin.
