Desert View

tributaries
of leaf
rock
and sand
holding hands
with eyes
of a woodland sea

where our own perception
has strength regain’d

where aching shoes
be soon forgotten

Hiker’s Guerdon

watch displays
so many steps
so many miles
a mature pulse
and calories burn’d

but the sweat
and heave of breath
be ignor’d
by destination’s view
