Ski Adventure in Austria

  **Ski Adventure in Austria**    Through Alpine peaks so high and grand,   Two friends set forth, hand in hand.   A man, a woman, side by side,   Carving trails where snowflakes glide.   The morning sun on slopes so bright,   A world of white, a sea of light.   Their laughter rings through frosty air,   A bond unspoken, pure and rare.   Through pine-lined runs, they twist and weave,   Each turn a dance, each jump a leap.   Wind in their faces, spirits free,   Riding fast through powdery sea.   At midday’s call, they pause and rest,   By wooden lodge, a fire’s crest.   Two mugs of cocoa, warm and sweet,   Steam rising where cold hands meet.   Then up again, to chase the thrill,   Higher climbs, an icy chill.   The glacier calls, the ridges steep,   Where silent beauty runs so deep....

Bound by the Track: A Lifelong Friendship Forged in Sport

  Bound by the Track: A Lifelong Friendship Forged in Sport We met on the track in our teenage years, Lacing our spikes, facing our fears. Lungs burned, legs ached, hearts beat fast, Yet side by side, we vowed to last. Through morning sprints and twilight drills, Chasing dreams, defying hills. Rain-soaked races, sunlit strides, Bound not by time, but by our pride. The comp would start, and off we’d go, Jump and jump, through highs and lows. Not just rivals, but something more— A brother, a sister, forever in score. We cheered each win, we bore each loss, Each medal earned, each mark we crossed. Not just teammates in fleeting days, But soul-bound friends in endless ways. From teenage years to grown-up lives, Through Uni and jobs and love that thrives. Yet when we meet, the years erase, And time dissolves in warm embrace. The track still calls, though feet grow slow, Yet in our hearts, the embers glow. For bonds like these don’t break or fade, They’re built on sweat, on dreams we mad...
