colorado

i've begun to notice that
on the mountains of colorado
when they are covered
entirely covered with white
there are moments
when you pause
and drink in the surroundings
and taste the crisp air
and swallow it after crunching
and everything looks brilliant
the hills are dusty and vibrant
and fade into sky at a point unbeknown
and trees of dark green with white tips
are scattered 
or not scattered 
in rows amongst the hills
and you feel a sort of connection
with everyone else passing by
as if
all together
we have stumbled upon something secluded
some uncharted land
that lifts our chilled spirits
as we slide through

1.1.09

hear you me by jimmy eat world

There's no one in town I know
You gave us someplace to go
I never said thank you for that
Thought I might get one more chance

What would you think of me now?
So lucky
So strong 
So proud
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never get the chance

May angels lead you in
Hear you me, my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

And if you were with me tonight
I'd sing to you just one more time
A song for a heart so big
God couldn't let it live
