Rippling brook
Croaking frogs
Chirping birds
Rustling leaves,
Of the canopy above
Chirping birds
Rustling leaves,
Of the canopy above
Thump of feet
On solid ground
Slipping on rocks
Swishing of clothing
As one treks up ahead
Crackling of fire
Splitting of wood
Hiss of boiling water
Shish of tea
being poured on cup
Lightning static
Clap of thunder
Swoosh of wind
Rain falling gently,
Drip-dropping on the tent
Kurdish music
Erupting laughter
Boisterous clapping
Rythmic stumping
Of feet
Zipping of tents
Being opened
Slap of feet
Being slipped on
Whispered, "bayani bash"
Thumping walking stick
On rocks
Quick intake of breath
As thorns break
Into skin
Ripping sound
Of thorns
Breaking away
From fabric
A hiss from pain
Peaceful quiet
As one watched awed
By the wonderful sight,
Of the valley
Far below.
