We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.

Your poem is as wonderful as how the view would have been. Loved it!
Me thinks your memoirs would make a wonderful series! Love the photo and the haiku. 🥰
Lovely poem! Thank you for the fun fact, as I didn't know what Chamonix is!

i remember hearing the word Chamonix in a James Bond movie. I thought it was such a pretty word. Love it. Hearted.
What a beautiful way to highlight this resort! Wonderful Haiku.
