Mountain

Algae, moss and lichen
Up above the trees
Granite, quartz and mica
Cleared by the breeze

Running down the spine
Hikers trail and water
Fault-line and convenience
Guide my feet and father

Fir and scrub and balsam
Fragrant in the air
Draw us to the summit
Up the rocky stair

Up above the tree-line
What a vista to perceive
Spring, summer or autumn
One hike is but a tease
