Explorer's Hike
Explorer's Hike
I visit
The Amazon Rainforest
To explore
The canopy, understory
And the forest floor.
Crickets chirp and leave crunch
Under my heavy feet
Birds tweet and howler monkeys howl
Upon the trees.
The smell of wood fills the cold wind
I feel it on my skin.
Down the forest, there's an estuary,
I need a drop; I'm weary.
