It used to be natural
This ability to take off;
Chasing or being chased,
Hunting or hunted,
Or just rounding third
Headed for home.
Good thing that
Sauntering is a verb;
Easier to see life
in all sizes
Asking forgiveness
For gravity’s call.
Memories by design
Are chattering whispers
Like dreams that happened;
One step removed
From the wind in your hair,
And the pounding rush
Of the living heart.
