You Run Now

6.

You run now

 

a moment barely passed

since all you could accomplish was

a crawl

and before that

 

another moment

when you laid in my arms

barely able to move at all

 

my heart rejoices and breaks

minor and major chords

mingle and merge

the sweetest symphony

ever heard;

 

the one my heart plays

to which you dance

as you do just as you must

and run, run, run away

 

but arms remain

stretched wide to my sun

for as long as there is strength

in my body

and blood in my veins

to hold feeble branches aloft

 

you may ever return

to your mother's

embrace.
