harney peak glistens

The lake glistens.
We head into the woods. Our goal: to be back at the car before sunset. The path is still damp fom the freshly melted snow. We walk. Talking, laughing, teasing, giggling, tickling.

The snow glistens.
We slip and slide up the slope. There is the outlook... finally a place to sit and rest. Dry ground. We break open the water jug. Drinking, laughing, splashing each other, passing it around. Cool breezes, smiling.

Our faces glisten.
Across the valley stands our destination. We climb for a better look. A snowball whizzes past. Narrow misses, sure hits. Scrambling in and out of sight. Laughing, freezing, ducking. A wink.

Our bodies glisten.
Bits of snow still cling to our hair and clothes. Fingers red from navigating the ice and granite ledges and rock faces. A glance to the peak we won't reach today. Hugging, laughing, running. A sigh.

The lake glistens.
The trees part and we see children running about, parents relaxing in the growing shade. Cars neatly parked side by side. A race to the car; winner gets shotgun. Giggling, holding, shrieks of laughter. A touch. A look.

two bodies

Two bodies. Slow dancing. Soft Music.
. . A moment.

Two hearts. Beat a song. Rhythmic tattoo.
. . Forever.

Two heartbeats. Syncopation. A kiss.
. . It grows.

Two bounds. Limitless. Pulsing evolution.
. . What now?

Two bodies. Intertwined. Lying together.
. . Eternity.

Two bodies. Resting. A sigh. No more.

a new look

I cut my hair last week while on leave last - its pretty short but I'm trying to get ready for Korea so its going to get shorter... spending lots of time in a gasmask and such :-) Here's a picture. I was able to donate 14" to a very good cause, and I didn't even panic this time!

Had a bit of an accident with a steak knife Monday on my way home from work. No pictures, but long story short (since I just finished my homework and have to go to bed shortly), I didn't need stitches, its 2cm by 2in deep and is healing well. No infection, didn't cut any nerves or arteries. Oh, and I can't drive because my car is a stick, but I still have to work :-) All is well.
