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.
