Climb The Hill

We woke at crack of dawn before cocks crowed
The air was fresh, green nature sent a thrill.
My mum exclaimed " Today we climb the hill ! "
Equipped with food and water we set out.

I looked around me , sleepy lay the world.
Pale mist enhanced the landscape with soft hues.
The glorious sea, the distant mountains blue
beguiled our hearts, relaxed our tortured minds.

We sometimes pause and take a drink or two
and toast to nature with our glasses raised .
Within an hour, we reached the top and gazed
at views surrreal and wide , red sun and sky.
