tunnel

The tunnel was cold, dark and wet... We ran to warm up our bodies ..
I felt cold water soaking the way in through my torn shoes..
On feeling my feet getting numb, I ran faster.
I heard her rhythmic foot steps keeping up behind me..
We, sound of our foot steps and our breaths filled the tunnel.
We ran out and dissolved in the bright light of mountains..
We saw Grossglockner standing there with the all knowing smile of an ancient mountain god..
We stood there holding our numb hands.
