5 Peaks

i
step
from
bottom 
I ascend 
up a steep 
mountain I
climb hoping
I see Mountain 
Duck maybe with 
young crossing she                         🦆keeping all together            safely altogether each safe
Snow Mountainquail hope I
see, ooh, I am at this HighPeak
From Peak I begin my descent
Down this mountain steep as
it is I encounter shalerock it 
is the habitat of snow quail
sssh I see one such beauty
I rest where to gaze upon
its red legs and crimson
beak such that it bears
resemblance to a hen 
Crossing stream spy 
A duck with young
waddling along as
mother quacks to 
keep all together
winding down I
feel my knees a
shaking I hope 
they will keep
laughingknee
say Japanese
myself too i
laughing at
this idiom
one more
step and 
i will be
nearly
there
here
am 
i
i
am 
from
bottom 
will trek
this steep 
trail do hope 
I see Mountain 
Duck or Quail on
my way I think she
may have her young 
in tow as they waddle 
along while she quacks         keeping all together safe        Snow Mountain Quail I wish
to see, oh I see I have reached the point nearly at the summit
From the top of this mountain
I commence a steep descent I 
I am hoping to spy a quail or
two since this is the habitat
in which they roost raising 
young with red beaks and 
feet they look much like 
chickens ooh look there 
it is a row of ducklings 
with their mother in 
front quacking for 
to keep them safe
I am about to get 
to the bottom of
my descent as i
take a very last 
step to arrive
at the lowest
point knees
laughing as 
they say in
Japanese
tired'n 
sore i 
must
rest 
my 
i 
do 
see 
more
peaks 
lofty so 
tall such 
grandeur 
admiring a 
pretty tree I 
pause to snap 
a photo wonder
if a bird nestles in
branches raising her 
chicks from hatchlings 
Ah I spy a nest yet more
are here may be a family 
tree or a community living
here as I ponder what other
creatures make a home near 
The Summit to which I climb
Now the descent begins what 
will I see on the downward
Path the Treeline I pass as 
I passed it on my journey
up last time I saw quail
and ducks here lizards 
warm themselves in 
the rays of the sun 
until they reach a 
point where they 
can move look
for some food 
A snail with 
house and 
home on 
back oh 
end of 
track 
I am
woo 
am 
I
yet 
more
peaks 
looming 
before me 
not time to 
rest or catch
my breath up 
this steep and at 
points dangerous.. 
A snake winding in 
branches of a tree and
if I recall accurately this
One is a Python so Strong
It glides along searching for
Pray perhaps a squirrel poor 
Squirrel ooh time flies when I 
Enjoy a Climb On the way to 
the bottom I shall rest for a 
while to rest my legs gain 
strength Here a squirrel 
am glad it wasn't snake 
dinner and there I see
a hare darting into 
her burrow beside
a brook babbling 
brook so clear a 
taste so sweet i 
drink it down 
with thanks
and praise 
for such 
natural 
beauty
given 
to us 
this 
is
a 
gift 
we oft 
take for 
granted as 
we go about
our way look 
I have started
on another trail
without noticing 
Ferns line this track
Each trail differs in so 
Many ways these ferns 
Seem to exude coolness
Making my ascent less a 
bit less Arduous A parrot  
Colours echo Rainbow Hue 
Birdsong melodic what is she 
Singing Seeking a Mate maybe 
Water falling waterfall a veil 
Shrouding mossgrown rock
Frogs croaking jumping to 
hopping fro kneesdeep a 
kneedeep one flies just 
as a bird eating flies a 
darting sticky tongue
precision strike one 
more meal satisfy  
a hungry tummy 
yummy yummy 
yumyum bug 
eyes bulging 
Again I see 
the base 
Content 
happy
