Let’s

Afternoons are quieter

Light is more soft white

and baby blue

Than blinding orange and yellow

I start dreaming about

nights getting colder

us getting older

Telling stories around a fire-

Thanksgiving on top of table rock

Only you and me

Frosty breath and headlamps

When it started snowing

Wind howling

Never thought we’d make it down

Didn’t care

Or that time we hiked 21 miles

of the Art Loeb in one day

(With all our gear)

You literally fell down

Sprawled out across the trail

It wasn’t until we reached the car

In the dark

That we doubled over in laughter

Those are good memories

Let’s take em’ and run

I ache to ache like that again

I long for a simple life

Let’s run away

Let’s run!

Can we

Take all our memories

(Only the good ones of course)

To a valley

In Madison County

Throw a pot

Carve something outta wood

That sounds nice
