I slept amongst the shade

Cast by the eucalyptus and caressed by the breeze;

Birds they sing to share their message.

Dreams come and go rapidly

Too fast to cast my judgment;

I latch on and then let it go.

 Reluctantly I awaken at the foot of Huascaran

Smaller than when I began but prouder than when I came;

Body refreshed and mind reset I roll over for more.
