Soft sunlight
Warming our bodies
Cold from the long night
We stand up
Shaking the dew from the morning's melt off of our fur
We leap into the wildflowers
Running along the river,
Flowing at an easy pace.
We are carefree,
You will be, too,
If you let your mind wander to such a faraway place that seems so
Impossible
You can reach this
You can climb to this height of living
Of existence
It just takes effort
Perseverance
Hope
To reach your safe haven.
It was what, four and a half weeks ago?
sometime after school ended
I wanted to stay for the whole time
I brought snacks for everyone
bagel chips and hummus
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
Underwater
it's nearly silent
incredibly quiet
all sharp sounds softened by the waves.
Underwater
all of the loud, nagging noises of life fades into a faint murmur
bearable for once.
Underwater
