smells of fresh cut grass
smell of barbeque
waffle through the air
together - intermixed
still uniquely different,
early morning drizzles
flow in and around
an off-white misty fog
blocking directions
for mountain hikers,
camping beside ponds,
not quite lakes but large
enough to float across,
dismal thoughts of the day
lay underneath the dying
embers of breakfast
doused with leftover coffee,
packs a little lighter as
the journey continues...
one with nature - stress free
the enticing slogan read,
not mentioning the reality
amateurs often discover,
wilderness exploring
finding themselves and
their sense of purpose,
destiny calls out like a
coach over a missed play
and the opposition
scores once again...
troubles packed away safely
leaving the keys in a
safety deposit box while
making sure the latest
walking boots are purchased.
