Fantasy Land

Snap
and she is off
heart beats rapid
running….
As fast as she can
Sprinting
into the wind
A race to the end.
Going…doing…being…
Each stride
Longer
Faster
Smoother
Traveling with the gusts
The breeze sweeps her away
A Fantasy land
across the dusty path
spirals form in mid-air
Swallowed in the movement
Trapped in the cycle
like a tornado
spinning from the inside
out
Taken away by this powerful force
Fuel that feeds this inner flame
The fire burns bright
caught
in the momentum
the blaze creates a foggy view
blinded and
unable to see
The wind carries her
Into the next
An abrupt change in direction-
another realm.
Realizing she is the only competitor-
A lone warrior.
The finish line is no where to be seen
let go…let go…let go…

In this new territory
Coming to a halt
Stop
Beginning to capture the breath
Listen
to the messages
the voice deep within
Calming the spirit
calling her back
beckoning her home.

This intense storm arrives quickly
and vanishes in the blink of an eye…
clearing the lenses
vision renewed
A new perspective
Beginning again and again and again…
