My Mountain Hike

The view is overwhelming, such beauty, while so meek
Through the trees I see  astounding snow capped peaks
The different levels of wonder, gloriously grand
Seeing the spectacular Mountain, proudly as it stands

Tall tress all around , fresh pine I smell
A deep breath I take, peace within me dwells
Pondering which way to continue natures hike
To reach the pointed summit, the Mountains delight

Continuing my climb over rocky terrain
Air getting thinner, more excitement I gain
Above my site high in the cloudy sky
An eagle spreads his winds, while echoing his cry

Howling is heard, a proud grey wolf appears
Glaring eyes upon my own I shiver as he nears
Frozen in place  he walks past, eyes still a glare
He disappears into the trees he growled with a dare

My journey continues as I come closer to  the top
So beautiful and breathless I surely had  to stop
I sat upon a log to gaze at a beautiful fawn
Drinking from a crystal  lake, playing on natures lawn

Finally, top of the mountain, I have reached my destination
Relaxed as I view Gods’ beautiful creations
I lay back, close my eyes, in my peaceful serene place
Where nature calms your heart, God will touch your face!
