Brisbane Candid Series #1229 Glass House Mountain Queensland

 


Morning mist drapes the ancient spires,
stone sentinels born of fire’s desires.
A young hiker stands where the ridges gleam,
map in hand, eyes lost in dream.

High on the tower, the timber hums,
as wind through the railing softly drums.
He faces the mountains, vast and far,
each peak a memory, each scar a star.

The paper flutters — a compass, a guide,
his heart beats steady with the morning tide.
Below, the forest breathes in green,
above, the sky burns bright and clean.

He folds his map, the silence calls,
the world below, the range enthralls.
The Glass House waits, both stern and kind,
a mountain path, a state of mind.

  3. That is a wild looking landscape for a long hike. This walker is perhaps looking for adventure?

  4. This reads like a whispered memory etched in mist. The imagery is so vivid, I can almost hear the timber hum and feel the map flutter in my hands. A quiet ode to solitude, nature, and the inner compass that guides us through both terrain and thought. Beautifully done.
