A Flowering Night

Snatch
Taken
In the dead of night
Run
Hide
Stay out of sight
Hurry
Faster
Get out straightaway
Longer
Farther
Still a distance away
Stop
Breathe
While there is time
Movement
Tension
Keep on the climb
Flee
Leave
So you can be free
Advance
Arrive
“You’ve made it finally”
Crush
Mix
“I knew you wouldn’t quit”
Cup
Drink
“The trip was worth it”
Settle
Cuddle
“To help you stay healthy and alive”
