Running Horse by Brett Brzycki

Pedal down, the clouds run faster.

Shoe flailing back--but pushing forward

Still, moving with no end.


Once surrounded by the pack,

Sand, grass, waves, stone--

Now behind or in front but never

Together. Just--Alone.


Music and memories.

Few run with no desire;

They find a destination.

No purpose, chaotic subconscious.


Slowly, I find myself,

Running, hurrying myself,

Your thoughts, in the moment,

Never had a future.


Wishes for a halt;

I know that I will.

Iā€™m afraid of that moment.


Look carefully, friend.

The horses nearby;

Even if they do not run

The pace is steady and

Hopeful, that they stay

For the rest of my life.
