I enjoy hiking in the woods,
On gravel trails,
On forest paths through mountains.
And the people that hike on by
Stay in their own world,
Forging their own adventure.
The lake waters ripple
At the shore, pressed by cooling winds.
And swaying trees block out the sky
But sunlight peeks through
To greet the cold woodsy soils.
I enjoy hiking in the woods.
The forest is home,
My imagination is my partner in silence.
The uphill hikes teach me lessons,
Each rock tells me stories.
I know more about myself
When I reach the top
Or finish the trail.
And I won't hesitate to go
And do it all over again.
