Time stops.
I stare out before me with the world spread about me
And the atmospheres cease to be dim.
I hold my breath.
This place that I knew once–it gave me a life once
Is no longer familiar, but strange.
I close my eyes.
This feeling I get from you is pulling me close to you
And I know that it’s time to go.
I take a breath.
This new life you offer me, it now seems to call to me
And I can no longer hide.
I set my feet.
The horizon before me is right where you beckon me
Straight to the rising sun.
I run.
Not away from, but towards you, simply ’cause I love you
And now there is no other way.
I leap.
The air above beckons me, whispering, ‘trust me’
And now it’s too late to turn back.
I fly.
The air is so cold up here; I cannot see you here
Our distance seems only to grow.
I fall.
The sky shatters behind you, but somehow, I trust you
You wouldn’t leave me for dead.
Falling–
Then you catch me; I feel you all around me
You are warm, I’m content, we are safe.
I sleep.
With you right beside me, Nothing can harm me
Now I know I have found you at last.
I’m open to prompts for my next poem. If you have any ideas or requests, leave a comment below!
Thank you for reading 🙂
