"Escape"
Awaken in darkness,
Stars shining silent.
The beating of footsteps,
Sidewalk pounding and violent.
Cold, cutting winds,
The moon still chilling my skin.
Motions in rhythm,
Fleeing the costs of my sin.
Muscles scream with fire,
Determination rising with the sun.
Beautifully beaming,
Morning dew withering as I run.
Mastering want,
Ignoring the need for breath.
Praying in seconds,
Running to or from death?
Nature seeping into senses,
Familiarity passing with time.
Speechless forgiveness,
God in nature sublime.
Escape hatred,
Sweating my inconsolable heart.
Impervious will,
My failure, I fear to impart.
Miles have passed,
Bird's sweet, soothing song.
Desperate and needing,
Body pushes, atoning its wrong.
High rays refine my body,
The road narrowing to an end.
Self splurged against pavement,
Nature, God, I commend.
Earned the right to exist,
Can let love now surround.
Until morning dawns again,
Self once more thrashed against ground.
