They Know the Trail

"...people are frightened when they see the heights
but once they arrive they know the trail..." – Stonehouse, 1

Spend most of my days thinking of mountains
not necessarily Rainier or Hood out west
but any place where perceptions fall away
and the leaves from aspens become new friends
Out on Sunset Trail along Door Peninsula
there was the great lake just waiting there
what else do we want from our oldest of friends
wide beautiful blue faces singing invitations
