Symphonic monkeys
Gliding on razor sharp rails
Tame the choral beast
Wind blows with purpose
Rain falls in sheets, vengeance
No hiking today
True vivid colors
The emergence of autumn
My brain turns to mush
My friend on my right
Slowly panting, sappy look
Eyes searching for love
Seeing past the day
Empty minds drained of logic
Idiocy thrives
Sitting on the couch
Laptop screaming in silence,
Word Press feeds the mind
The monster awaits.
Steely dark eyes mask each day,
Ignoring the truth
A change in my mind
Veils lifted from my eyes
Prescient warning
The A.T. calls me
Boots on the trail, walking
Lost in thought, my peace
The weather forecast here in the Hudson Valley of NY is not good for the next several days. They are saying we could get several inches of rain from late tomorrow through Sunday. Knowing that I won’t be able to get out for a hike this weekend, I decided to take yet another trip to the Nose. As you know from previous posts, a hike to the Nose is never disappointing! Here is what it looks like in May.

Looking south towards the Timp.

Cotton candy dreams,
Streaking across the day’s end
Mystical madness.
