Today is our last hike to complete the 48 4000 footer challenge. We started at 5 am to start our climb up Mount Washington. My backpack was filled with protein bars, trail mix, and gatorade. My sister had hers stuffed with water and our extra layers. We both had hiking shoes, shorts, and a sweatshirt on.
Now that you have a good idea of what we were working with, here's the story.
So we got out ...
“So…Anneliese calls him ugly?”
Lou’s face scrunches up in confusion. Amelie laughs as they continue to watch _Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper_.
With Lou only viewing animal movies (ones with happy endings), they all decided to educate her on the Barbie movies from Ria’s phone. They began with the obvious best Barbie movie. It helped to convince Lou with talking cats. The movie watching is...
Somewhere along the line the forest had become a physical manifestation of our friendship. The love that we held for one another.
Of course at the time it was just our forest.
I remember it having distinct areas, like neighbourhoods or city blocks. We created a map once, thick card, burnt edges, like pirates parading as colonists. And as such we each had our own kingdom to rule and call our own...
All we had really wanted to do was go on a hike. The hike was great, don’t get me wrong, but sore muscles aren’t.
We were almost done when we spotted a large log over a small stream.
Kate had dared Maylee to walk across it. She was a retired state gymnast, so we all figured she would do it. And just like we thought, Maylee made it over, like a ibex on a mountain.
She then dared me to go over. I do...
Alliance is for the weak.
That’s what I used to tell myself.
I sit cross-legged on the grass and take in the view. The wind rustles through the air around me, rustling the leaves of the trees nearby.
Distant clamouring echoes from a distance.
Alliance is for the weak.
Maybe I am weak. I believed I could trust no one, that vulnerability only gave way to potential hurt. To loss. To trauma.
But...
Babbling brooks
Babbling babes
We fumbled where the fishes played
From dawn until the end of day
Back when life was just a game
Boggy creeks
Bogging babes
We rolled in mud
Down hills
In hay
We messed our hair up
Then we laid
To dry in the sun
Then hide in the shade
Back when mammy would shout and say
Your dinners ready
Come in from play
Back when life was just a game
Restless rive...
The wind hums through the branches
Stoic trees provide their shade
As I thrive in peaceful solitude
My lonely escapade
I’m indifferent to the silence
Contented all alone
I’ve left a trail of breadcrumbs
To guide my way back home
And yet I turn around and find
My trail has disappeared
Devoured by some creature
Empty footprints filled with fear
Now my peace turns to forlornness
My seclusio...
We’ve walked past
Each other every morning
With quick glances
But that changed when
You spoke first
I talk with you now
And you talk with me now
Soon enough, we’re friends,
And now that we’re friends,
I will protect you
I will be there for you no matter what
Yes, no matter what
Whether you move away,
Go into the military, or
Get married
Nothing will be able to stop me
If the devil tries to in...
Let’s go to our woods
With the shallow river
Crossing all the rocks
Shoving each other in
And scooping water at each other
Giggling and smiling
Let’s go to our woods
And swing on that branch we found
Feel like superheroes
Climbing up the trees
Navigating through the leaves
Until we touch the sky
Let’s go to our woods
That always sparkle and shine
Sunlight patches dance across the floor
Like g...
