Where fate awaits

Years spent running across a rolling powder keg
of dreams.. 
feeling in my being, I am someone 
I can do anything  
like the first time I saw E.T. 

Guard the streets til dawn,
find lost puppies, rescue babies..
help raise them too.
Crossed rivers of snow and ice
just to keep up wi' you.

After all, so easy the lives we live. 
A thousand times a thousand,
until that one life, so special in time
we're forced to give. 
      
Hold on I beg, hold true..  
can't escape the setting sun
nor the forever you were taught to follow..
tho' must forgive the stars at dawn.
   
Where all fate linked to yours is hallow'd 
in both birth month and mom.   

My eyes soon to fail, all's gone blurry
now. 
Though still see a streak in the sky
where your colors reign..   
 
Run, run now and swiftly..  
somewhere there's a life,   
waiting for you to discover.
So much easier this way, don't you see?
don't wait for me.

I enjoyed this one and the way it winds down to its conclusion . Don't wait for me. A very impactful conclusion.

There’s such a quiet ache in this—graceful, raw, and deeply human. The way time, memory, and love tangle together here is just beautiful. That closing stanza... haunting in the best way.
