Jordan Runs
Long ago, when he was young
Just learning every path leads to new adventures
When Jordan flowed with finer things
He turned about and took the long way home
Time would mock him along a longer way
What was he thinking just to see some scenery?
But the tug on that irresistible summer day
More about feeling than a 3D destiny
Shy and wonderful, he willed to wander
The bending of another will for an instant relenting
Shackles swiftly disappearing at his feet
Opening a soul to draw the heart to a place uncharted
No hope to make a legacy today
Flowing follows steps of two most trusty feet
Spirit of youth, such innocence cannot be distilled
Set to the wind, the vapor moves from one’s free will
Soon he found the new way exciting
Set the pace a run along the path through now~here
Finding freedom an essence greater than any destiny
A perfect lesson on a perfect summer day
Arriving slightly winded to a place to call a home
Compliance leads to comfort from the wilder-ness
Yet his fondness glows about that other route
The memory of a moment turned a light inside his heart
