We Had a Moment

a poem about hiking

Tolbert
Oct 6, 2022
A grove of trees with autumn colored leaves loom over a leaf covered creek that has boulders and rocks protruding from it. A couple fallen trees lie across the creek in the background and a little sunlight can be seen at the back of the picture where there is a small break in the trees.

The grove and I had a moment

cold patch hot patch ghostly bent

rolling on nuts

avoiding the skid into fluffy white butts

the grove and I had a moment;

hiking along at a steady clip

more nuts, tree roots

trying not to trip

nor slip

sounds of snapping twigs signaling I am not alone

I ask for protection while leaving my senses to hone

the grove and I had a moment;

being outside lends me creativity and is something I enjoy

runner’s high turned speed walker leaving me to buoy.
