We Run Wild.A Poem by Lydia
Freedom is the feeling of grass beneath her feet With the blue sky the same shade as her eyes And it’s not much of a surprise: I’ve fallen for a free spirit I’ve never seen set free before.
She runs wild and I’m trying to catch up With all her skips and jumps, still I’m begging for more of this euphoria. I fell asleep and dreamed of someone once, Not just anyone now, but only her: With the auburn locks that shine like the stars of That summer night when her voice, Like the whisper of wind in the willows, First spoke those words that mean the most. There’s tears on my pillow as I hold her close And kiss the closed sapphire eyes Beauty that never fails to make me cry.
Now she’s kneeling by the water, Spinning in circles as she leaves life behind, Face to the sun, and arms to the sky, Loving the land, She looks back and smiles As she takes me gently by the hand. We run wild, my flower child and me And though I once belonged in the city There’s no where else I’d rather be.
Hide and seek with sunflowers, Such a glorious, powerful thing, this love. She’s grabbed me by the heart and I’m so grateful I found her As her heart and mine went wandering Once upon a summertime. © 2008 Lydia |
