Summer Trip

We paused for a snack And threw them all back Got in the car But didn't drive very far We stopped down the street At a ducked away park We took off our shoes And played in the creek before dark Things started to get wavy And I started feeling crazy Because I started paying attention To this particularly noticeable ant He sized me up under a leaf He wanted to fight , I said, "I can't" Amazed by mother nature Making insects speak to me Mind boggling me with crazy things, unnaturally We ran through the grass Back under the pavilion over the hill In awe at some birds That couldn't seem to be still We watched as they circled around us in twos Eyes dancing with their wings, and the reds and the blues Of the colors they displayed As they flew around us in a circle I think I might have even caught a glimpse Of a pretty blue violet or purple I turned my attention To the point of the ceiling And I started to get An uneasy feeling The birds had a nest Up in between the wood and it's cracks And I told my friend I thought they might be trying to attack First an ant, now these birds We must be disturbing their homes But we were so high and didn't understand Would've been best to have left them alone Somehow at some point We made it back into the car And drove back to my friend's house But it seemed to be so far We must have drove around for hours I don't know how we weren't swerving in the street I was on cloud 9, she was so high in the air And we couldn't feel anything under our feet Safely, thankfully, we made it back Physically made it anyways But for my mind to come back from this trip Had afterwards, took me days We never stopped laughing The whole way there I don't think we really ever made it But I don't even care The whole time was so good And yet again I had felt It WAS possible, if even for a moment For all of the calamity to melt Away from my life And no longer be there The feeling of living overwhelmed us And I didn't have to care As this adventure had come to a close We started to see things in ways I don't think either of us knows These Halloween decorations That were still hung on the wall Started laughing their butts off And I thought they might fall Onto my face , because I laid underneath So I turned myself around So they would only fall onto my feet I don't exactly remember Anything else about the end Because I'm still on that trip With one of my best friends
