Through the woods we go
With each step, an unfamiliar sight
A path winding to and fro
As we trek through nature’s might
The rustling of leaves
And the chirping of birds
The babbling of creeks
And the buzzing of bees
All playing a symphony
Of nature’s pure beauty
With each turn, a new surprise
A waterfall, a mountain high
A meadow of wildflowers
Or a river flowing by
The scent of pine and earth
And the feeling of the breeze
Refreshes our souls
And puts our spirits at ease
The climb may be steep
And the trail rocky and rough
But with each summit
Comes a feeling of triumph and love
For in the great outdoors
We find peace and serenity
And though the journey may be tough
The reward is pure ecstasy
So let us not forget
To leave only footprints
And take with us the memories
Of the joyous moments
For a #hike is not just a walk
But a journey to the soul
To connect with nature
And fulfill our spirits’ goal
