We Go On A Expedition.

Without an option,
We go on an expedition.
So foggy, so damp, are we walking through a cloud?
Like an adventure to an arctic camp.
The wind waiter welcomes us,
The birds yodel like a choir singing a melody.
A river runs to a sham finish line.
Towering trees waving to me.
The view like a still-life painting.
Plants growing to adulthood.
The dirt path leads me to more,
Rocks stern as a decision.
As we return, I make fantasies of creatures.
Did they enjoy the land?
My peers could only rant about their wet socks,
While ’m thinking of the flocks.
