A HIKER'S CHOICE
00:00 / 01:11
Transit on edges
is a showdown within,
with terrifying steps
the second you begin
With evolving conditions
comes a hiker’s choice,
of following signs
or that inner voice
Markers on maps
may attract you off track,
if they plant mistrust
where paths double back
Hearing those notions
in stampedes of tension
determines the grade
of linear ascension
What’s rough the way up
is less in decline,
with climb thinning wonder
and mystery run dry
The excursion is glory
in lessons exposed,
gleaming with clarity
as confidence grows
Back at the bottom
arrival is relief,
inspired by the road,
flush with belief
