feeling the heartbeat of the earth underneath us
as we walk barefoot on the scorching sand
the one baked underneath the blazing summer sun,
an intolerable burning sensation
and yet one that holds some of our favourite moments,
encased in our minds, imperishable by the passing of time
the sweet release of the cold sea when our feet touched
the foam
and the colossal waves formed by the howling winds of August
the ones that we were willfully drowning in just for a few moments
of blissful adrenaline
The soreness in our shins from climbing up a mountain
in search of an untold mystery, a quest of our own creation
the misshapen fig tree shading a hidden stream
and a hundred butterflies quietly occupying it
flying away in a peony coloured swarm with the slightest of sound
Those burns and pains that shaped us
Those burns and pains that scarred us
Those burns and pains that melt and fade away,
with the first sound of laughter.
The time my cousin, my brother, and I climbed up a mountain while using the app randonautica. Needless to say, we didn't find the exact spot and we were in PAIN but it was really fun and magical!
