Running.

It used to be natural This ability to take off; Chasing or being chased, Hunting or hunted, Or just rounding third Headed for home.

Good thing that Sauntering is a verb; Easier to see life in all sizes Asking forgiveness For gravity’s call.

Memories by design Are chattering whispers Like dreams that happened; One step removed From the wind in your hair, And the pounding rush Of the living heart.
