Granite exposed below me, beneath me,
the vista as far as the eye could see
the lake a mirror, placid,
glistening in the midday sun
a treasure revealed at the summit
for those who make the hike
My hiking, the climbing
through the tree line
up the narrow path
rewarded with the beauty
of the scene from the mountain top
a treasure of this day, of my life
Sitting, my eyes closed,
drinking in the sun, the peace,
a prayer to my Creator
thanking God for this moment
aware of this means of grace
extravagantly poured out on me
