CB prompt

The Mountain Pass

The fierce winds blew the snow across the road
The posts along the way, her only guide
Her windshield cracked that morning at the side
Beneath the empty air, the river flowed 

She carefully ascended up the pass  
She thought of her two children in the back
For them she must continue on the track
Her reverie, for certain, didn’t last

The snow and wind blasts whittled on her nerves
Her life before just seemed to fade away
She pictured her car plunging in the gray 
As she prevailed upon the mountain curves

The fierce winds blew the snow across the road
The hungry mountain pass had been denied
Beneath the empty air, the river flowed
