Steep incline

Rough terrain

But i'd rather walk because it's better than an airline

Just hoping it doesn’t rain

Walk, Climb, Run, Jump, Swim.

Enjoy the time with the bees

Climbing this mountain

I am just a visitor in the land of the trees

Through the valley

Through the stream

Glad I'm not in an alley

I'd rather be with my cousin amongst the trees

Slip and slide 

Like a penguin

A spike of adrenaline like a carnival ride

The cold water a surprise like an intervention

Falling behind 

But almost to the top

We jump rock to rock

Trying to rejoin the flock

Make it to the top 

A wide landscape, rigid view

Just don't slip and flop

Or your life will start anew

Easy descent

Stop in a stream on the way

Make it back down without a bone bent

Back out of the trees right onto the beltway
