Descent

<
Sir Fluffy the Wonderpillar
I ride among the silver snow,
A soft heart clad in spines and steel.
Hands grasping tufts of fuzz,
I'm lifted high and glimpse the path,
Then buried down into the powder.
The earth shakes, his roar is louder,
Gracious as his breed allows.
Closer by the inch my dream,
A toehold on the other side.
