Chapter Text
Running and barely pacing into the ever changing orange, reds, yellows, and lowering sun
Moving on their own, left, right, left, right, my legs pushed the rest of me forward
I'd hardly just begun.
I was going till I would touch the sinking sun, on my own accord
And with the pushing and pulling of my legs, I could with great fun,
I could win my own self-given award.
Sprint till I could only jog, jog till I could only walk, walk till I could only crawl, I wasn't done.
I wanted to be the first Lord, to touch the close of day, with nothing but a run.
Followed by shadows that curl around the trees, hills, and rocks; It followed me like a dove.
Heavily breathing, fluttering lungs, and numb legs create a system as one.
It was exactly what I had dreamt of,
But I wanted to stop, my legs were becoming overdone.
I was so close to having it done, but the sun beat me to the punch.
Closing and disappearing behind the land, it was gone.
I was left in the dark and stars, my knees buckle without a lunge.
Bloodied and weak, I arose and made my way back home after my homerun.
