A Beautiful Mountain Trail

I\'m hiking a beautiful 

mountain trail ,

beauty hid behind 

a tree\'s 

veil 

 

The trail has a 

beautiful mountain stream 

that\'s crystal clear ,

with some of it having 

a trickling sound 

that\'s very pleasing 

to the ear 

 

The sun\'s glittering 

sparkling light ,

is reflecting on the face 

of the water 

bright 

 

My feet stays 

on the trail 

but my eyes 

keep going astray ,

there is so much beauty 

along the way 

 

The whole side of the mountain 

is consumed ,

by the big white flowered laurel 

where it has bloomed ,

it smells as though the mountain 

has been perfumed 

 

Some standing at least 

eight feet tall ,

on both sides of the trail 

a giant flowering 

wall 

 

Here there\'s a natural rock bridge 

that spans the creek 

and the water runs through ,

some geologists say its 

at least a million years old 

I haven\'t 

a clue
