We’re going on a Journey

We’re going on a journey,
It’s going to be a big one.
We’re not scared.
Not really.
Excited, forward looking to along the way fun.

We’re going on a journey.
It’s going to be a big one.
We’re not scared.
We’re setting off at the same time, and the sun is shining in a bright blue sky.

We’re going on a journey.
It’s going to be a big one.
We’re not scared.
Except we can’t go as fast, we must take our time, go our own speed.  
Left behind.

We’re going on a journey.
It’s going to be a big one.
We’re not scared.
But I can’t hear anything except the sound of my breath, the thud of my heart.                        
Crashing.

We’re going on a journey.
It’s going to be a big one.
We’re not scared.
One step, one stop,  one step, one stop…
Hares pass.

We’re going on a journey.
It’s going to be a big one.
We tortoise the incline;              
Passed, passing, passed.

We’re going on a journey.
It’s going to be a big one.
Sweat-crusted, selfied summit scaled.

Team of two.
Together.
