Running Shoeless

Black cherries Platonic hearts Remembering moments from the past Climbing railings Watching cars pass Red, white, green and blue A picture of a world I once knew. Loss of breath Running shoeless Suffocating smoke filling the air Angered cries Too many lives taken in like a fishing net. We are only people in the end.

Smile ˜ We Are, "The Children Of Light." * When we fail to recognize this truth then, we fail ˜ And You Are far too precious & priceless to ever let this happen ˜ Although I love the thought and image of running free without shoes ˜ My love, always, John!:) ˜
