Headstall's Reflections - 6. Chapter 6-Prompt 4 and 5- Running and Flying
I woke up with this one, about fears, reassurance, and my run in the sun.
Headstall’s Reflections
Chapter 6- Running and Flying
Beginning my stride with a cluttered mind
I trust pumping blood will help me unwind
I want and I ache, I cry and I crave
There are times in life we have to be brave
Glory of sunshine warms my upturned face
While running takes me to a special place
I can feel your touch when I close my eyes
Couldn’t forget it in ten thousand tries
A pounding rhythm soothes my crushing need
To hold you I would push till my feet bleed
The trilling of birdsong invades the air
I search high for the source but none is there
They are likely calling their one true love
A soul-piercing sound arrives from above
And two winged creatures appear side by side
Such a joy to watch as they dive and glide
Separation for a moment or two
Maneuvers over they begin anew
Solitary man I may be today
But tonight we’ll join in our special way
No, it may not be our preferred ideal
But all that matters is the love we feel
No longer alone as I end my run
I feel you sharing the warmth of my sun
Tonight we’ll fly like swallows in the sky
Dipping and diving till we say good bye
Tomorrow will be another today
It’s a choice we’ve made to survive this way
What we have now is such a special thing
Let’s not dwell on what the future may bring
I’ve learned life is never just black and white
Trust me, I’m not giving up the good fight
Though distance between us might mean our end
That’s not the message I’m trying to send
Each day I rejoice in the night before
I’m with you, love, for as long as we soar
