Mountain by Raymond A. Foss
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
