Missing Out On Hiking This Summer 2 comments
Box Camp Trail, June 2016
Because of several physical issues,
I have not been able to hike with my friends since April.
Hope to be back on the trail by the fall. — kenne

Forgotten The Way By Which I Came 1 comment
Sabino Creek Near Hutch’s Pool — Panorama by kenne
I wanted a good place to settle:
Cold Mountain would be safe.
Light wind in a hidden pine —
Listen close — the sound gets better.
Under it a gray-haired man
Mumbles along reading Huang and Lao.
For ten years I haven’t gone back home
I’ve even forgotten the way by which I came.

Things of Poetry, Revisited 4 comments

Things of Poetry
Poppies
line the canyon trail,
brightening
each hiker’s way.
Passing greetings
share the joy
as the morning sun
intensifies
the canyon colors
brilliantly reflected
by each poppy,
the things
of O’Keeffe —
real poetry.

Death On the Trail — Image by kenne
This towering Saguaro, close to forty feet, fail across a trail near the Sabino Creek Dam. This big fellow had no arms even though it had to be well over 100 years old. There were no signs of disease so it may have just gotten too big for its root system.

Further on down the trail
the hiker moves on knowing
life carries him from unknown
to unknown yet a master of destiny.
The hiker prevents the routine
from concealing nature’s secrets
even when the trail’s challenges
come face to face with suffering.
For the hiker, easy and difficult
hikes can all have the same face
until environmental factors cross
the path creating new challenges.
