One foot
In front of the other
Treacherous terrain
Sudden weather changes
Wear and tear
On mind
Body
And soul
Long treks
Few breaks
Each break
Is an opportunity
For respite
To heal
Cuts and bruises
A weary soul
A time to reflect
On the sheer grandeur
Of the journey itself
Contemplation
Rejuvenation
Exaltation
One foot
In front of the other
Until the next respite
