In the heart of Oakland, where the wild winds play,
Stands Grizzly Peak Open Space, a sanctuary bright,
With trails that whisper secrets of the day,
And vistas that stretch into the soft twilight.
Amidst the oaks, where shadows dance and sway,
The sun spills gold on leaves, a painter's delight,
In the hush of the forest, the spirits stay,
Awakening dreams, igniting the night.
The trails weave stories of the old and new,
Footprints echo the laughter of friends,
As the coyote calls, the hawk soars too,
Nature’s chorus, a melody that transcends.
From the ridge, the Bay Area sprawls below, a canvas wide,
San Francisco glimmers, a jewel in the bay,
And beyond the horizon, the ocean’s tide,
Whispers of freedom, in the fading day.
Morning dew clings to the ferns, so lush,
While the scent of pine fills the cool, crisp air,
In this refuge, there’s never a rush,
Time slows its march, inviting us to share.
With each step taken on the winding path,
The heart finds rhythm, the spirit takes flight,
In the embrace of nature, we escape the wrath,
Of the bustling city, the urban blight.
Here, the wildflowers bloom in vibrant hues,
A tapestry woven by the sun's warm kiss,
Each petal a promise, each color a muse,
In this open space, we find our bliss.
As the sun dips low, painting the sky,
The evening calls with a gentle sigh,
Stars awaken, like dreams that fly,
In the arms of Grizzly Peak, where the wild hearts lie.
So let us wander through the whispering trees,
Let the cool breeze carry our laughter high,
In this sacred space, we find our ease,
A timeless dance beneath the endless sky.
With every visit, a story unfolds,
Of nature’s grace, of peace untold,
In Grizzly Peak Open Space, our spirits bold,
Embrace the wilderness, let our hearts behold.
