In brink of burnout,
brittle like an old man’s bones,
nature watching, us.

Beyond human power

We strive to control,
to twist nature to our will;
unyielding, it grows.

Just do it

No crime, exploring—
defy laws of gravity
be framed by nature.

The climb

Up on a mountain,
baked, kissed, and blessed by the sun,
