Day 9 of NaplPoWriMo 2020 - a Poem to Comfort

  [Click picture to enlarge

Basics of Comforting 

Pathetic Fallacy
Back to the basics
To there we find a path
A path which is etic to cure
Yon mountain hidden dale
We climb that big hill
View the other side
Peace in valley
We will find

The climb

Climb we must
To see other side
Put on our hiking shoes
Foot to path pet the bunny
Turtle pig cow and lion come
Natural enemies combine
To save the turtle
Life on the hill
Our friend

At the top

Fresh air
Gentle breeze
Blows through our hair
Smell the flowers yellow
Purple reds and orange abide
High climber's rich reward
Pick some for our vests
Enjoy the pretty view
Peace there abides
Stay we mustn't
Below calls

Almost there

Going down
That is easy part
We get there fast can't dally
Sweets there to find
Aren't you glad
We came

Our Reward

See the spread
Laid out food and drink, ours
Linen sheets feather pillows
Gyms pools friends and wifi
Paths are strewn with gold
Ours to pick, shall not want

Here we stay, campers not 
Find music -- soothe our souls

I love the shape of your poem, Jim, which takes me on an interesting path, up and down a mountain. I love the stanza ‘at the top’, which appeals to all the senses. I hope we all get to the reward on the other side very soon.
