Poetry along the summit path.

Poetry along the summit path.

Light through the canopy flickers along the trail.

Flakes of crushed stone glitter under step.

Now darkness gone with the deep forest behind us.

Sunlight beams on our face with stark contrast.

A burst of wind takes life.

Leaves gather speed and branches take flight.

Giant walls of tall grass sway inviting us home.

Leaves blowing in all directions across the field.

Searching for the trail as the dust gathers on the cheek.

Now waiting in silence with trail absent from sight.

A burst of energy unleashed.

We race toward the summit.

Above the clouds everything fades away.

The forest appears to move together.

Winding below the trail speckles brown into the meadow.

A burst of beauty observed.
