It is with wonder and amazement
That I look upon the beauty of danger
Life has tried it’s best to strike me dead
More than once and so now I laugh
Comrades in arms upon mountains and shores
Elbow to elbow in deep woods or high waves
My serenity found in beauty of nature
Yet with an endorphin filled adrenaline twist
Some are called to the roads and mountain trails
While others cast out from the oceans shore
All for one and one for all the others
A feeling of freedom unknown by the weak of heart
High speeds and overhead surf call us
Each to our individual pursuits
Yet similarities of cultural bond and brotherhood
Remain etched deep in our skin and bones
