Lurking in the Shadows (Mirror Sestet)

Alpenglow amidst glistening white snow.
Snow covered summits eliminating alpenglow.
Lurking deep within the distant shadows murk,
murk shadows balter and chortle while lurking.
Eschew the possibilities - trying to construe,
construe deeper meaning shadows hold, whilst not eschew.
