Nothing Better
Nothing better than a long,
spring hike in Colorado
Viewing rugged mountains highlighted
by the bright blue sky
Feeling the uneven terrain
under your hiking boots
with the occasional scrunching
of snow patches.
Breathing in the fresh pine-scented
air
Delighting in the
multitudes of wild flowers—
Indian Paintbrush, Silvery
Lupine, Fireweed, Columbine
Hearing the whoosh of the
spring runoff
Hiking up the mountain
until legs can go no further
Resting by a sparkling,
blue lake
Then using the muscles,
you didn’t know you had
for the return trip.
