All the Colors

​Hiking is my jam; you know? Just me and the clear blue sky.

Treaded boots tromp over branches, as I watch white clouds swirl by.

Pitching a tent, building a campfire, now in survival-mode,

Breaking-down camp, black sky turns to gold, leaving this lonesome abode.

The journey (though harsh), conditions raw, like oysters on a platter,

Harmony, peace...I CAN BREATHE...and color doesn't matter.
