Nature's hike

The wind howls past me 

Leaving everything behind 

I walk down the path 

Not knowing when I'll stop

Hearing the water flow

I can feel my stress going away

I look at nature's beauty

Searching for animals 

Walking the hike isn’t easy

My breathing gets heavier 

My legs start to give in

I can hear the heat of the sun 

Burning me inside out

Though I persist 

To see the end

Reaching the end 

Hearts pumping

Not wanting to leave

I take a deep breath

Fresh air going through my lungs

I feel free
