Space Shuttle

it had a successful launch today...

it's hard to believe there's only six more.

a legacy will be ending.

i guess it's harder on my mom and i...

because my Grandfather and my Nana were such a huge part of the NASA program.

we stood in the backyard,

cheering for the shuttle as tears rolled down our faces.

they have the best view of the shuttle now.

i used to think being there on the spectators field was the best view...

now,

after having never known my Grandfather, but knowing of him...

and after my Nana's death in January of 2008...

i know, they have the best view.

the tears are for the advancements we've made,

the people that have been lost,

and the future for NASA.

i miss you everytime i see a cardinal,

everytime i hear that song,

and everytime i see that shuttle in the sky.

i can't believe it's been almost 2 years...

I was following the pack

all swallowed in their coats

with scarves of red tied ’round their throats

to keep their little heads

from fallin’ in the snow

And I turned ’round and there you go

And, Michael, you would fall

and turn the white snow red as strawberries

in the summertime...

mmm, a day of relaxation.

listening to Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Death Cab, my baby Devendra, etc...

it's cold outside, and they're the perfect soundtrack.

come lover bring a blanket,

we'll build a fire in the field.

i'll make you some hot cocoa,

if you swear to not let go.

come gather in serenity,

as the leaves begin their dance.

come sit with me in winter,

and there we'll stay in happyness,

in a field just he and me.

the cold winds

it has been a while since i've felt like writing anything,

the cold winds been a new breathe i think.

this week has been an interesting one for sure.

a friendship lost, and friendships gained.

to be honest, i am feeling refreshed this week.

unsurprised at a certain days events, but relieved at the sight of old friends.

and now that i'm trying to write something my mind fails me.

oh well, maybe another day
