Sandy dry creek bed
Quiet steps, still mountain air
Deafening silence
Watch ancient trees pass
Hear my breath as feet shuffle
It’s calm on the trail
Seemingly simple
Switchbacks up to false summit
Hardest miles to go
Running up the trail
Dodge roots, pine scents, falcon soars
Connecting to earth
No tracks to follow
No clear trail trust your calling
Heavy winter snow
Mountain trail winds up
Bright sun cool breeze serene sounds
Peaceful morning run
