rock, you cannot hear me,
friend, you are not always here.

i began hiking yesterday
hoping to find something of escape
to be struck by the unchanging beauty
impressed by the clarity of quiet sound
inspired by the breadth of solitude

i hiked from the road
hoping to leave the noise of highway,
the cars traveling
always traveling
but i could never get far enough away
