Natural Selection

As we begin to hike

Song birds feed on the fresh seed

It's early summer

The morning ripe with sweetness

An old loved hand held for the first time

The ground is flat and dry

Sword fern all around

For miles and miles the wind weaves and withers through a forest of knowledge

Knowing who we are and what it requires to continue together

One foot in front of the other

Resting further beside old growth

Natures beauty

Decomposing fallen trees

Stability in the past

Seeing two squirrels a-like

Mind coming together with the river

descending beauty

Fast

Powerful

Elegant

Freely flowing forward falling together bound by Earth

Majestic

Merry making our way across canvas bodies in seek of further exploration

Hot sun

Sweat sweetly swerving upon our faces

Eyes locked on the stride

Decided to be

A place where two can feel free and share face

One wearing lace

The other in bare grace

Reaching the car fixed with freedom and mated for eternity

Amazing

For miles and miles
the wind weaves
and withers through
a forest of knowledge
Knowing who we are
and what it requires
to continue together
One foot in front of the other

a stand out stanza it could even stand on its own

100/100
