54
Footsteps in sand stepped
A fortune withheld, a future kept
Legends of an old land
Blurred and ripped
Sunken ships
Lifelong trip
Asleep by sun walk by the moon
Time out of time much too soon
Time within time
Within mine
Myths of a time
Legends from a man
Will of a boy
To which I stand
Each night walked a wish to stop
Begged forward
Pulled forward
Stopped yet again
It's time to move again.
Questions come in droves
Answers, too, but not the right ones
Old ones
Wrong ones. Long ones, unneeded.
Answers emptied into the sand. Thoughts bled to the grain
The first rain
The second pain
No longer a phantom.
The sun burns the sky longer each day.
Sand Sand Sand Sand Sand
And
Halfway there
Only I don't know it
Twice as long half the night
Half the night twice the light
Red orbed god like stare
Knows I'm there
Knows
A figure in the horizon come into view
Hope alights anew
Faster I run
Father speaks faster
I oblige. I run. I run.
Finally.
