Flight for a Moment

Awake, alive, running to have a chase; Dim forest peels back branches binding light Allowing shadows lurch across my face As the feet reach to more ground for my flight Then stop, all stops a second too soon now. My head whirls, dazed, my pulse recedes from strong. Infinity, to keep—I’m unsure how To clearly grasp the song of a life long. For the eye to caress what it sees; Now a time to shut vision all away As only to feel the beauty in soft breeze— All other moments than this I betray. Fresh life amidst the somber forest dance, New reason to live life that takes a chance.
