A Challenging Hike

Swift movement 

Climbing up 

My breath rapidly oscillating 

Sweat dripping 

clinging on to cloth 

internally 

I scream 

Externally, 

My boots move 

Right, 

Left, 

Right, 

Left

Until 

I reach the peak. 

A breeze beckons 

As my eyes drink in 

The beauty of nature.
