"Sacred Reverie"

I run

 with sheer force

My body  a shield against the Winter Wind

 Tearing at my skin, with an unleashed fury

I am not afraid

I must run.

The night is dark

No moonlight or shadow

Stars hidden by a captive curtain

My Soul  hungers for a Holy Freedom

I must run.

I push on into the night

Can't count the city blocks or miles

What lays behind, must remain behind

Now only relentless freezing rain

I must run.

My emotions raw, laid open

Tears freeze by the second

Piercing-Struggling - I continue onward

I must Not stop

I must run.

My Grief

 is Stripped in layers

Razor edged, by the Winter Wind

All thoughts a Sacred Reverie

All I know...

I must run.
