I forgot the feeling of being on the peace river
almost exactly 3 years ago
daisy wine, maroon & myself
floated part of that river
that was fun
the peaceful feeling of being alone
us & nature
nothing else
maybe a goose or 300
a deer on the shore
& our laughter echoing off the banks
this weekend we camped on that river
an island our home
driftwood fire cooking our meals
i'm so glad most of my friends
understand what i'm talking about
I wish all of my friends could
& then the big sun sank
stars poking their way into view
the water sparkling.
& the northern lights
shocking my brain
reminding me how tiny I am
God gave me the best show in the sky
that I had ever seen
stretched all the way from horizon to horizon
dancing so fast my eyes couldn't keep up
I have not been taught what the definition of stardust is.
but I imagine northern lights to be stardust.
& the wind is blowing it across in music like ways.
a violins song guiding
its snaking trail across the stars.
I was in awe.
my neck aching.
but I couldn't take my eyes away.
& now we drive home
the rain pounding the minis windshield
tiny windshield wipers struggling to keep up
i'm scribbling logo designs in my notebook
dreaming dreams that I don't think will happen
waiting for the next adventure
which is next weekend
camping at Beauvais Lake
with all the cousins
my heart is happy
endless trees are watching
as we drive this long road.
