On the way

Clambering over the fallen
rotting moss-covered timber
from a decades-old windshear,
whilst traversing the mountainside
through the mystical light
of the now
flourishing Aspen Grove,
shaded by new growth
and thick trees that withstood the storm

O! to kneel here
on the way to Lizard Head,
amidst it all, and
let the beauty pummel you
