and as the rain fell on my face,
the world just became more beautiful.

Run.
Throw open the gates that once confined you,
And run.
Past your childhood home,
Down the sidewalk
’Til the pavement ends,
And then:
Keep running.
Into the trees,
Over river, through wood.
Do not fear the path you should take,
For I will guide you.
Look up.
Feel the sunshine warm your face;
The wind rush through your hair.
The endless expanse of blue
awaits you.
Run!
Until the golden sunlight of day
fades to night:
blue to black.
And then:
keep running!
For I will be your light
In the darkness.
Over uneven grounds and jagged rocks
that trip and pierce your feet;
Through sand and stream and mud
that weigh and slow you down;
Run until your lungs burn with fire
and your legs give out from under you
and your heart is ready to burst,
And then:
fly
For this is what I have for you.
