Run

I often dream that I am running

As fast as I can, and as far as I can

Relentlessly and never tiring

Nothing to hold me and no need to stay

            Completely Free.

Excited by the cold night air that fills my lungs 

   until they nearly burst

Affectionately welcoming the obscurity of darkness

I am lost to others, but I can finally see

            I am free.

Bare feet on smooth concrete

My skin exposed, and chilled completely through

Finally feeling something

           Alive and free.

Always Running

With a delirious grin on my face

Forgetting everything

                             But the sun rises

                             And shadows have faces

                             My flesh begins to thaw

               Awake and defeated.
