Brief glimpse of the Rim
Then, either through sufficient elevation descent or the whimes of the weather again, the Trail reveals herself. And what a reveal: this cliff is what I had been walking along for some time. Didn't really know it was there until the clouds parted for the pic.
One of my favorite movies is from the mid-80s: The Princess Bride. I couldn't shake the ominous music from the Cliffs of Insanity scene. That started one of those songs you can't get out of your head, so I was humming and singing the theme song pretty much the whole afternoon.
'Come my love, I'll tell you a tale
of a boy and girl
and their love story.
And how he loved her oh so much,
and all the charms she did possess
Now this did happen once apon a time,
When things were not so complex.
And how he worshiped the ground she walked,
And when he looked he became obsessed.
My love is like a storybook story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
My love is like a storybook story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
His love was stronger than the power so dark,
A prince could have within his keeping.
His spells to weave and steal her heart,
Within her heart but only sleeping.
My love is like a storybook story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
My love is like a storybook story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
And he said, 'Don't you know I love you oh, so much,
and lay my heart at the foot of your dress.'
And she said, 'Don't you know that storybook loves
always have a happy ending.'
Then he swooped her up just like in the books
And on his stallion they rode away.'
