Hike, hike, people hike

Hike, hike, people hike,

on the trails, immersing in nature,

with equipments & accessories 

to make it feel right,

exploring difficult terrains,

walking in day or overnight.

Hike, hike, people hike,

in the woodlands & forests,

under the shades of canopies, 

stepping roots, leafs, muddy patches,

sometimes there are steep climbs,

mountain ridges testing endurance.

Hike, hike, people hike,

walking through meadows or marshes,

sometimes follow rivers or coastline,

even explore extremes of places,

facing heat in deserts & canyons,

freezing on glaciers or snowfields.

Hike, hike, people hike,

for a break from noises of cities,

having a taste of adventurous living,

clearing our mind, boosting mood,

with benefits on physical fitness,

and a story, worthy of share or post.

Hike, hike, people hike,

increasing traffic in pristine sites,

with influx of human presence, 

degrades sanctuary of local wildlife,

bringing noise, mismanaged wastes,

breaking ecological connectivity...

The vital pathways of ones,

Truly needing that hike!
