her legs are aching
she isn’t running
she is actually walking,
with her head down
attention...
she doesn’t want any of it
everything is a red flag
stone cold
just from a noise or a touch
nothing but fear inside her soul

so both we jumped
but we forgot
that you could fly
and I could not

Seeing patterns everywhere,
Signs a constant following
Shadows cast fast so eerily
Upon ancient forests
Of wise old trees
Everything changes so quickly
Nothing stays the same for long
What is living when it’s all frozen
Constantly wishing for the thaw

The wonderful everlasting

Is ever changing

A constant metamorphosis

Higher and higher


For what living soul

Is ever truly bound to

Words


And what great ocean

Couldn’t take it all

Even bitterness and salt


So why fear this love

As ever, perhaps more

Humble and devoted

With all of its flaws


Please

Take a leap of faith with me

You might finally rise

When you take this fall


For what miracle is there

If you only walk the walk

Quiet, mundane, unchanging

Walked by all

U and I
always together
The Y before U
Obliterated forever
by the
O'
after I found U
