Never ending

I'm running

I'm flying

my legs move

back and forth

forth and back

on

and on

and on

faster

faster

the air is avoiding me

I run from my chaser

endlessly

until the world tilts

the universe shifts

I trip into the empty gap ripping open at my feet

I fall

further

and further

spinning

dropping

plummeting

to what I think is my ultimate death

until I feel my feet on familiar ground

familiar footsteps behind me

my legs move

back and forth

forward and back

on

and on

and on

picking up speed

almost flying

but not quite

gravity still applies to me

even as I run from my chaser

on

and on

and on

an endless loop

I always end up back at the start

no matter which way I turn

no matter how far I jump to avoid the gaps

it never ends

it just keeps

on

going

  • Shedding our skin

    It's December already

    I've been alive for over thirteen years

    over thirteen years of learning and growing

    making mistakes and accomplishing feats

    of finding myself and uncovering layers in not only myself

  • Best friend

    Your new-ish house

    your dog sleeping on the rug

    my family and your family chatting comfortably

    your kitchen with your hot chocolate

    the fun spinny stools at the kitchen island

    that's one of my happy places
