I woke up,
In the middle of a dream.
I was running. I could feel
The stretch of my muscles
As my legs extended
For every elongated stride
And for once the world was spinning
Under me
And I wasn’t standing still
Feeling it all go by.

I broke the stubborn winds,
Pushed them out of the way,
And felt their dulcet surrender
In the cool hands
Brushing the sweat clear from my eyes.
The road unraveled before every step
As the stars overhead
Quizzically danced
With the sun and moon sharing the sky.
Letting my laugh join the melee,
Knowing when morning came
The impossible would go away.

I never dreamt I could fly.
My feet have always been planted.
This is the closest I’ve come.
Between this step
And the next
I’m everywhere but grounded.

Great job mons!

Really felt this part:

This little line did it for me.

HEY! thanks for reading this little guy scrollers. I really appreciate it. NANZAR that line was the kicker for me too, and Bard4Sharks where have YOU been... is it just me, or does it seem like its been a while!? Anyhoo... thanks, that was my favorite part of it too... more musical then the rest. i need to ween of the drugs? ween? he he

I really appreciate you reading this. Cause it was down home literal. I've never dreamnt i could fly... people always tell me about those dreams. In a way, i wish i had them too, cause people tell me "that's too bad". But i do have running dreams, and obviously they aren't the "AAAAHHH A KILLER!" running... more like "WHEEEEE I'M FREE" running. and it kinda seems like flying without all the height and risk and falling involved. kinda like an everyday miracle cause there is that second when anything running has both feet off the ground.... like a leap.

Thanks so much again....
