Morning Hike
July 13, 2018
Rugged
Dirt path
Undisturbed
Fog fills the air
Silence
Other than the occasional bird chirp
Cold
The chilly breeze rushes past
You pull your jacket tighter
Looking out
A sea of green and white haze
Majestic mountains rising out
Calm yet breathtaking

At Teen Writing Institute summer camp at SJSU, the teacher asked us to write about paintings. I wrote this poem after seeing a painting of a man standing at a summit, looking over the beautiful landscape in front of him. I was reminded of the many hikes I've been on and the awe-inspiring views and the feeling of openness and freedom in nature. I tried to express my emotions in this poem.
(The image I attached to this poem was the closest thing I found, which is not very similar. There aren't very many image options here.)
