Limbs longed to stretch and tap dance
on Elysium Fields, feel empathy
through delicate soil, sadness-happiness
tickle toes as constant reminder
of why I'm still alive.
The windows of opportunity
beckoned Spirit, brought self to Start
and allowed the games to begin.
Ivory flag drawn, not in defeat
but opened gates to Go~
I chased shadows of wishes, waited
for more to fall before my feet,
prayed this time, they would stay
just a little bit longer.
A path of Light led my inner child
somewhere over the rainbow.
What a wonderful world~
Shaped aspirations showered like rain
for hands to grasp, grip with all might
around sides so images remain;
does not slip through fingers.
Dreams did not crash but called out,
[ Catch me if you can ]
Strides I made to make it across
with Light as my guide to get
a glimpse of glitter.
Only time~
the infinite initiator stopped counting.
Gave me back moments
what I thought were lost
yet regret never regained momentum.
Heard my name mentioned, whispers
[Your song]
as laughter lingered for miles
on threads sewn, love lines dropped
for me to hold onto.
Honorable mention
