We stepped within a labyrinth of grays
beside a granite wall in mosses draped,
except our path was no constructed maze
but rather by the Park Department shaped.
Instead of winding clues, the challenge put
before us was a steep and weeping wall,
and through the mist we labored foot by foot
to see the birthplace of a waterfall.

It seemed we climbed a passage cut in rock
and paved in cubes of rock, while all around
were domes and caps of granite planet stock
that pushed the sky and echoed water sound.
We walked the labyrinth and for our prize
we made a trophy out of exercise.
