Mountain Dweller

        His name was Michael Welder,

         he was thirty eight years old.

         He lived up in the mountains

          and was all but lost to cold.

          He had no one to care for

          and no one to care for him.

          Just a lonely mountain dweller

          pining when the lights were dim.

          He'd wanted to be famous.

          Yes to be a hiking star.

          But had underestimated

           and had found the climb too far.

          Though all thought him a goner,

          he was living day by day.

          Just a frozen mountain dweller,

          wanting down but forced to stay.

BRAVO, BRAVO! This is a wonderfully written piece and it held my attention from start to finish. I live and hike in the beautiful mountains of Colorado so of course the title of your awesome write pulled me in...and I am glad that it did! ~Sharon
