Trails
Today was one of those days
One of those amazing days
Where winter goes on pause
And the world soaks up a little bit of sun
So in glorious sunshine
I ventured out
Onto the trails
That surround my new home
And so the hike began
Up a pretty strong hill
Across a hill top
And then into the valley
So many joined me
None that I knew
But it didn’t matter
It was just one big festival of fun
Kids running up trails
With parents in tow
Dogs running free off leash
Glistening from their dip in the creek
It was all very colorful
Even though there were no leaves on the trees
Just the color of emotions
From a community of freedom
I looked for pictures
And found a few
Mostly of days gone by
And things long forgotten
As I found my way toward home
Walking down the road
I came upon the hillside where I live
And I looked up
It was then that realized
How absolutely lucky I am
To be here in this special place
At this special time
