Beauty is Beauty

Wilcox Pass Trail, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada
I explore
I break trails
Find my way
Through unknown lands
To destinations yet
Undiscovered
Unreconnoitered
Unexpected

This is what I live for
Finding a new path
To a beautiful place
Rarely visited before

But I live too
For the well-worn trail
The short, easy hike
To a well-known vista
Of no small beauty

I remind myself
Beauty is beauty
No matter the effort
Required to view it

Insight is insight
No matter the depths
Plumbed to acquire it
