One, two,

I am going to move today.

3, 4,

Maybe if I just roll over.

Watching my arm dangle

Off the edge of the bed,

Thinking of letting myself fall.

I wish Narnia

Was in my wardrobe.

I used to hide in the closet when I was little.

I felt safe in the dark hidden behind

The garments.

(If I was out of sight I could be forgotten)

Then,

At night I would get comfy in my blankets and plan my

Dreams before I closed my eyes.

I planned every detail;

which characters would join me, where we would go,

Who would be friend or foe.

It was fantastical.

I was usually a character in a book I read

And

I always created amazing adventures.

Comforting fantasies of exploring, friendship and love.

I hated waking up.

What Adventures We’ve Shared

Posted on by

Oh what adventures we have shared.

Together.

We have climbed mountains

And sang in sweet unison cheers of victory

As we arrived at the summit.

Together.

We have crawled through muddy,

Murky valleys

And rejoiced at the sight

Of the rising sun

As the morning air filled our lungs with hope.

Together.

We have laughed until we cried

And our bodies and bones have trembled

As sorrow has wracked us to the core.

Together.

We have stood in silence,

Watching the sun kiss the horizon

Goodnight,

All the while

Quietly anticipating the realization of sweet dreams coming alive

In the wake of tomorrow.

Together.

And on each adventure,

Each detour,

Each long dry straightaway,

Every joyous celebration,

Every tiny step forward,

Each slip backwards,

Whether you have been through a portion

Or this whole amazing

Journey

With

Me

Thus far,

I thank you.
