Gateway To Adventure

Gateway To Adventure

In the realm where horizons stand so tall,

An odyssey blooms with the dawn's first call.

Toward the distant peak, our souls are sent,

We journey on foot, into the wild's pure scent.
Past rivers that wind with a silken grace,

Through forests that remind us of an ancient embrace.

Our path is a cadence ,a rhythmic, steadfast song,

With every step forward, feeling exactly where we belong.
Boulders rise as sentinels; the wind, our guide,

Our spirits climb skyward with each stride.

The sun traces its arc as we ascend, souls entwined,

Within nature's tapestry, through emerald hues we climb.
The summit's call, with age-old allure,

Promises a splendor, both profound and pure.

To scale this giant, this bastion of the lone,

Is to dance with the skies, in a realm of the unknown.
Ascending past crags, over the verdant forest floor,

Each view unveils a canvas, nature's art in store.

Our laughter rings out, a joyous, echoing flight,

For the peak's sweet embrace is the day's purest delight.

​As twilight ushers the close of day's grand bend,

Atop the world we stand, where earth and spirit blend.
Bathed in silence, should we go or reside?

We revel in the mountain's gift, and let the moon decide.
