The Hike

by Ms.Shawn Hadland;Sagitarius - Not entered

The Hike

water pouring, bending trail
songs of birds, pulsate in the wind
greenery everywhere, smell of sweet
the earth under my feet strong, yet frail

moss on the trees, sun on my back
secret garden for all to enjoy
a squirrels haven so sacred
a love for nature too many lack

falling water, pool of beauty
trees encircling stand tall
swaying slowly, sound so sweet
to relish life, is to do our duty 

on top of the world, or so it seems
yellow, white, and orange are the flowers
the horizon ahead, the mountains below
see, touch, smell, hear, these are my dreams

Reason for writing:

    This poem was inspired by my mother who peaked my interest 
in hiking a few years ago.  Her undying love of nature has
rubbed off on me and I am forever grateful, for I now see 
beauty in all creations.  I love you mom!!!
