Conundrum

Conundrum : A logical postulation that evades resolution...

Rain, slipping mud, rattling booms of thunder...
Up deeply carved mountain valleys,
To splash through ephemeral cascades, above the shake of aspen.
Rhythm of shared footfalls, beneath the weight of loaded packs and ache of muscles.
Following trails to a collective unburdening.
