running to the dawn

It feels like my feet have run off without me

Leaving me behind

Rooted in place

My mind ran off with my feet

Leaving me lost

Rooted in place, wondering what to do

Wandering around stuck in the perpetual dawn that plagues my days

The worst of the night is long gone

But the dawn is taking forever for the sun to rise

Stuck in a perpetual dawn

Abandoned by my feet and my mind

I want my feet to return with my mind

I want and need clear thinking for the days ahead for challenges abound this I know

I need to run free and unfettered towards the light

Lest this perpetual dawn become a twilight

And start progressing backwards

I’ve spent half my life chasing the sunlight only to never catch it

Maybe it’s time to stop running and walk

Carrying the light, you gave me into the darkest corners of my own soul

I’ve refused to let you touch

Maybe it’s not my feet and my mind that ran away from me

But me that ran away from them

Trying to chase the never ending dream of sunlight

That always faded into twilight
