54

　　Footsteps in sand stepped

　　A fortune withheld, a future kept

　　Legends of an old land

　　Blurred and ripped

　　Sunken ships

　　Lifelong trip

　　Asleep by sun walk by the moon

　　Time out of time much too soon

　　Time within time

　　Within mine

　　Myths of a time

　　Legends from a man

　　Will of a boy

　　To which I standStolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

　　Each night walked a wish to stop

　　Begged forward

　　Pulled forward

　　Stopped yet again

　　It`s time to move again.

　　Questions come in droves

　　Answers, too, but not the right ones

　　Old ones

　　Wrong ones. Long ones, unneeded.

　　Answers emptied into the sand. Thoughts bled to the grain

　　The first rain

　　The second pain

　　No longer a phantom.

　　The sun burns the sky longer each day.

　　Sand Sand Sand Sand Sand

　　And

　　Halfway there

　　Only I don`t know it

　　Twice as long half the night

　　Half the night twice the light

　　Red orbed god like stare

　　Knows I`m there

　　Knows

　　A figure in the horizon come into view

　　Hope alights anew

　　Faster I run

　　Father speaks faster

　　I oblige. I run. I run.

　　Finally.
