**This was about a run we did a few days ago. . Been one of those days. :P SN- sorry my punctuation is sloppy.**
Cold air in my face, shoes barely laced; today is today
Wandering mind out the door PT belt deluxe
Natures cruel embrace, hurrying; make haste
Alone in the pack but cool in the chase ready to go forth shining
Groups emerge and faces exchange- Orion has never felt so close
The moon says "~push~"
My body continues to pull
Finally! together as one
Entering transport- -Flash* I'm back?
Back to forever, beyond forever. Forever ago
Kids in cars and cars with kids without cares
Illusions play; as they must, they need to feel remembered
Everything needs remembering
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Destination unsought, lights ablaze; illuminated concrete jungle maze
Darker now.. silent night, mountain's toes exposed
A once familiar place, Sergeant commands the pace
Winding and climbing, sailing and flowing- Teens quest for greatness
Bends and passes nurture the path as fine mothers do
Demanding respect, the mountain inclines; Orion smiles
Celestial bow wielded proud, arrow tips lie not far
Erosion tell the tales of forgotten time, furrows expose the mountain's relentless side
The moon speaks "~push~"
Embers burn down and deep fibers of harp like muscle untouched by man begin to play
Enchanted by song, they pull-The mountain grumbles, inclining to protect its face
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the rail the city rest, even owls dare not wake
Fearless teens continue to take flight towards the mountain
Orion whispers with kindness " %#*^%$#"
A long ago cosmic language that only stars gossip
Praising, granting approval to the knightly youth
The harp begins to fade; Thin icy winds fill the teens
Breathe becoming a chore.
Now and only now does the mountain smirk
With torn sails the teens continue to quest
Sergeant calls " We've tried our best."
With coughs and hacks the once fearless teens truck back
Entering transport- - Flash* I'm back!
