From the morning when I rise from my bed
'Til the evening when I lay my head in slumber
Oh, the loss of you does wreck my days
Leaves me with a violent hunger
I will never be free from you
'Til I escape the lion's jaw
There's no welcome in the end
There's no reason to return again
The mountain stood so large
We were humbled
We walked a high and lonely path
The sun beat down on the ground
We looked around us
There were no trees there
We found a creek there
We dipped our feet there
We were alone there
There was still hope there
There had been a great disaster
The hot winds came just after
A tremendous shock was felt
Survivors often tell
The trees all hit the ground
Death was all around
And not a single lonesome sigh
The example lay before you
You knew what you had to do
You have a pressure in you
To destroy the one who loved you
The death was all around
You were hotter to me than the sun
That burned me up the day we went
To mount saint helens
And if the special death you gave to me
Is the prize i get to take home solemnly
And suffer with the fact that
I could never be your friend
I could never come back home again

“And how will this come to pass?' He paused and lowered his voice. ' In the same way all change comes to pass, I fear, And I am sorry it is so. It will come to pass by violence and upheaval, by flame and by fury, for no change comes calmly over the world.”
― Walter M. Miller Jr.

An Explosive Anniversary
On May 18, 1980, after two months of earthquakes and steam blasts, Mt. St. Helens in Washington state, USA, erupted at 8:32 on a Sunday morning. The eruption spewed ash 80,000 feet (24 km; 15 mi) into the atmosphere. The eruption went on for nine hours and reduced the height of the mountain by 1400 ft. (426.72 m) The ash was deposited in over eleven states as well as parts of Canada. I was 156…

Being a girl is great and all, but I will never be Sean Hawkins. I don't know who he is really, or where he's from, or how he turned out, but I know that for a while he was living my dream. I will never be a young man, fresh out of high school, working with logging crews to clear dead trees on the slopes of Mt. St. Helens in 1983. I will never be the "little guy" going around to chop the dead and ash-riddled bark off trees before the fallers come in---so their chains don't get so dull. I don't know if I want to be him, or if I want to be what he is, but I know I never will.
