Overhead it beamed
like the fluorescent lights
of the life he was running away from
He pondered too long of its beauty
too long that it reminded him of its fleeting
He'd leap off mountain tops
to find himself in the valley
with nothing but a halo glow of hope
He'd run along the shoreline though the waves would wash each step
Blinded by the lighthouse
his tenacious eyes remained unfazed
As the moon kissed the horizon
a small smile met his face;
it was not that his hands would catch it
but that his legs would never cease to try
An excellent portrayal of never losing sight of your dreams, holding onto hope and being undaunted by setbacks. A beautiful vision filled with creative imagery and giving an alluring thought to grasp onto. I too, loved the last stanza! Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
