Walking On The Wild Side

If you have some free time
on the weekend like I do
take a walk on the wild side
and enjoy this world
from a forests view.
Oh I know its not all lit up
and flashy like Vegas and its
not as enticing as the Mall,
but once you step into the
beauty of the mountain,
plants and trees you will
appreciate natures call.
Stay on the trail, lest a
wild pig hassles you, and
make sure you bring enough
drinking water for the
local menehunes too.
Enjoy the majesty of the forest,
so green and fresh and pristine.
There's not enough money to buy
the tranquility gained beside
a cool running mountain stream.

So true. I love the out doors. Thanks for taking me out there for a bit.

Nice writing,

Nothing like a forest and a mountain to be one with nature and one with All.
Inhaling beauty.
Enjoyed this very much, James.

Thank you Kristabell, Drauntz, Margherita and Sunshine for the wonderful responses...
The options are many; by oneself, with a personal friend or as a member of a hiking club...the rewards are many; the beauty of nature, the companionship, the physical challenges...James

Your poem calmed me much like a walk in the woods does.  Thank you.  Very beautiful.

What a beautiful poem.  I believe the beauty of nature far outweighs the sunset strip!
