By funicular and cable car

We scaled Stanserhorn.

In one direction

There are breathtaking views

Of Lake Lucerne

And the rugged alpine countryside

A mix of

Azure, greens and browns

Fill your eyes

With joy and wonder

The other direction

is shrouded in cloud and mist

at first.

A combination of

Sun, wind and God

Reveal majestic views

Tantalisingly,

Only for them to be shrouded again.

Our joyous task is to exult in the magnificence

Easily seen

As well as the hard-won

Momentary glory
