I run to you


On that winding, unyielding road
Down its deserted, sweaty path
I run to you

Where rivers are parched
Shriveled relics roam
Dying lands beg for mercy

Of that memory gone dim

I reach for you

Like a flower to its sun
A bee to its bud
A bud to its bloom
A lyric to its song

Like a child to its mother
A moment to its night
A traveler lost to,.. home
A prayer to its religion

Like a love to its devotion
A moth to its flame
A drunk to his poison
A monk to his salvation

I run to you
On that winding, unyielding road
Down its deserted, sweaty path

Where rivers are parched
Shriveled relics roam
Dying lands beg for mercy

I reach for you

In that memory gone dim...

josephus The PoetBay support member heart!
This is so lyrical it begs for a symphonic accompaniment. The yearning and visions are compelling!
