As the Moment Will - Part 2


Running, my heart and step pounding as one An echo sounding solely in my chest I look ahead to see us light up our city swept surroundings Shining like stars, we are grounded, but free as feathered teams Running as if we could fly and flee With the sheer velocity of small legs pumping Small hearts beating along with a passion Fashion no fiend or friend in this darkness We are shrouded and unseen by the eyes that bear witness Our shimmer only of notice to those who have felt this And so a graceless race we’ve run to the finish The grass a relief to feel under bare skin My feet now plagued with the smallest of bites From the manmade soil thick and gray to the world A murky state of the body, a rushing haze in the mind None slip away but I, and I Feel the pull of the world, but cannot give it a name I look to the stars in the sky and fall without aim I dream with no means, no limits, and no seams I wonder if they know how long I’ve waited To feel this light And to dream this whole Everything is beautiful when one has a goal
