Escape

Let me run in the rain

with joyful abandon,

like a child

with a sense of anticipation and wonder.

Let me jump into puddles

with my red shinny boots.

Let me taste the rain,

the way I've tasted your tears.

If you see me run,

don't follow,

let me.

I will return,

when I have weathered the storms,

when I have read the tides,

when I have made a seaweed skirt,

and I have plowed my toes into the sand.

Let me escape

so I can be found,

for my soul hungers for peace,

for my soul hungers for more discoveries,

for my soul will always hunger for you.
