Hikes feel special at this time of day

Faint sparkles of light interweaved between darkness

The murkiness of air and obscurity in the air

Feels damp with the humidity that floods the sky

The cold air breezing and cutting your face

The coldness feels number throughout the ascend

As the dark mist clears up and drifts away

The pure cottony clouds take form across the canvas of the sky

The red glow of the sunrise and its soft woven lights

Shines in vibrant beams that peer through the clouds

A faint warmth lays its palm on your cheeks
And soon your red swollen cheeks turn clear again

The pastels hues of pink and orange are painted throughout the sky

Its wispy strokes drawn over the darkness

Now shines only with tranquility 

At the peak of the hike and the tops of the mountains

The radiant skies and bright sunrise

Make the climb all the more worth it
