Use to the cold
Skin harden by the deep freeze
Lungs sting with each deep breathe
Sleet beating my face with shards
Arctic temperatures destroying the body
Bitter wind howling, piercing my ears skin
Eyes burning from the bright snow
Every fiber of hair feels the bite
Bones ache with every movement
Staring out to the vast frozen tundra
I fall in love with my world
This site is my medicine
And all the rest fades away
Nowhere else would I rather live
Day #187 SJD
