Sun Blazing.
Uphill battle.
Trees stood still.
Grass, stubborn.
We ascended to the peak.
Disappointing.
Lizards were omnipresent.
Small kicks on the way down.
Not good enough.
April 16, 2020
Refreshing burst at the summit.
It kept us moving.
Soft sway filled the sky.
As the breath of the clouds navigated the mountain.
Tranquil winds showed us the way home.
Birds followed happily.
April 20, 2020
4.5 miles of muggy air.
Pure misery.
Sun beats down on our wary bodies.
No redemption until the end.
When a grand gust shook the trees.
Blowing away our fatigue
Relief.
Mocking birds celebrate in the sky.
A new trail, another day.
April 21, 2020
Trite air hung heavy.
Diminutive currents hit us, rounding the mountain.
Nothing special.
Dull, hazy.
Trees barely swayed and the grass did not try.
Birds seemed bored out of their minds.
April 22, 2020
Sizzling, no scorching.
Unbearable.
Lizards laid relishing the sun.
While we were afflicted by headaches.
Not even a small gust came to lift us up.
It just pushed us down, down, down.
Asphalt radiated heat.
Shade didn’t help.
A miserable walk for blithering fools.
April 23, 2020
Nothing grand.
Nothing dull.
Just there.
It just was a breeze that existed on its own.
Trees danced and shimmied.
Birds sang.
We walked.
April 27, 2020
Trees danced as if it was a country hoedown.
Birds soared through the skies.
Grass jumped from side to side.
Refreshing and crisp despite the heat of the sun.
We ascended quickly.
And descended slowly savoring the gusts.
A lovely day, I wish could last forever.
