The Hike
Air as fresh as morning pierces our skin,
as the sun begins its own voyage up the sky
Breezes fill the open space and paw at the green
and the trees stand timeless and high
Hills laugh at us, making no notion to abrade
as our footsteps are heavy and sigh
Dangerous roads rebel against our feet
Thin rope railings stretch towards the sky
The waterfall roars its mighty breath
and spits when it speaks to the clay
The creek whispers its secrets to the rocks,
which are written of years of what those waters say
Fallen trees applaud us now
for completing their clever maze
Home smiles and calls out to us
and we dream of doing it again one day
