A mountain pass (also gap, notch, col, saddle, hause, bwlch (Welsh), brennig or bealach (Gaelic)) is a route through a mountain range or over a ridge. If following the lowest possible route, a pass is locally the highest point on that route. Since many of the world's mountain ranges have presented formidable barriers to travel, passes have been important since before recorded history, and have played a key role in trade, war, and migration.
Mountain passes are analogous to the mathematical concept of a saddle surface, with a saddle point marking the highest point between two valleys and the lowest point along a ridge. On a topographic map, passes are characterized by contour lines with an hourglass shape, which indicates a low spot between two higher points.
Passes are often found just above the source of a river, constituting a drainage divide. Passes may be very short, consisting of steep slopes to the top of the pass, or valleys of many kilometres, whose highest point is only identifiable by surveying.

...uwielbiam, gdy
Opuszkami pokazujesz mi
Jak lekko jest zobaczy twj erotyzm...
(Teraz nie, pniej)
Gdy sami bdziemy
Poka Ci
Jak "wiat klka przede mn...
Jak giniemy i pojawiamy si...
W krtkich chwilach (odpoczynku)
...kiedy sami bdziemy poka ci.
Kiedy muskasz me pragnienia (to)
Kolorujesz je
W bkit nieba ubierasz to
O czym mwimy.
I love it when
you show me with your fingertips
how easy it is to see
your erotism
When we are alone I'll show you
how the world kneels down - we die
we appear again
in these few short moments
when we are alone
I will show you this
When you're stroking my desires
you colour them
what you're talking about
you make it light blue
