Hiking up the mountain.
To see the beauty of nature.
Critters of all shape and sizes.
Begin to encompass us.
Branches howling back and front.
As if telling our tale to others.
Hand in hand.
Stride by stride.
Our bodies in tune to perfection.

The trail begins to lose its rocky essence,
Now we must forge our own path.
Higher and higher we go.
Lower and lower the sun goes.
As it has guided us this far,
It must guide others now.

Camp is set.
The fire is ablaze.
To the west the sun retreats.
To the east a full moon rises.
As it motions the lake behind us,
Into a harmonic symphony.
Arm in arm.
Heart to heart.
We let the lake sing for us,
'Till the sunrise.
