Stick 252 - Non Stampede

 

The Non Stampede

 

In Africa

in the yellow grass field

I heard the thunder

of an animal herd

of hearts racing and stirred

 

In Africa

the stampede

filled me with excited fear

I wanted to join in the run

but wanted to never fall down underfoot

 

In Africa

I learned that a stampede of one

was very much possible

as long as the running was done

with purpose and excitement

 

In Africa

I loved running as one

as yellow grass hair waved my efforts along

as dreams came true

and was always rewarded by a beautiful warm African sun
