Backpacking

My body, carries the weight of the pack. Walking, and seeking to pray. Vast space opens, my unlockable hope. Silence, keeps monsters at bay. My breath, eases at the sight of the moon. Echoing, everything is okay. Lupine flower kisses, my unloveable me. Fields, offer beds to lay. My spirit, strengthens inside of my walls, pushing, them out of the way. Snow bank freezes, my unstoppable terror. Trees, whisper I may. My heart, sits on top of the mountain, crowing, to meet the new day. Glacier stream quenches, my unrelenting longing. Trails, wear anxiety away. My soul, joins along with the rest. Melting, to oneness anyway. Nature God, consumes my insatiable loneliness. Everything, makes connection today
