Midnight Jog

The sky filled with clouds
A thousand halos for the stars
The moon
Bashful
Peaking out to watch me run

The air
Thick with the rains yet to come
Heavy and filling
Lungs pulsing
Heart pounding
The ground beneath my feet
Disappearing
As my head falls light
And lifts to the sky

I'll never get there
But I'll always
Be running
Towards the moon
