Mountains are lessons in patience.
***
Steep
but not unkind
a mountain
waits for me
eternal,
patient,
unfazed
by my fumbling
my missteps
scraping
against her
face
as I slipped
again
and again
trying to find
my way.

A hole in the fence is a gateway to adventure.
Someone has broken through the fence!
made a wormhole
into a restricted zone
-- a forest reserve to be kept
preserved from curious hikers
who only loved to walk
the soft native earth.
They'd brush aside thorny vines that catch them,
rush through blades of grass that cut them
just to find a way to get lost
in a patch they call 'nature',
to breathe in the green
and bathe their heads
under the golden sunbeams
falling through the canopy.
