Inspiration emerges when you least expect...thank you Joseph.
She could see the horizon all laying still. A shadow began to emerge from the earths skin.
Growing taller stretching into a being.
She could make out the steps struggling against the wind.
Making its way to her determined. She wanted to make lessen the struggle for him but she couldn’t move. Her heart was pounding against her chest matching the beat of his steps.
She longed to run, she fought to stay. She fought for breath. She fought for him. She felt dry, he was water. She longed to bathe in him. He drew closer. Each step Determined to reach her. More than an extension of the earth now. He was a world. He held warmth of a sun, the quenching of seas and the strength of the mountains.
As the shadow grew smaller he came closer. She knew the lines on his face and the angle of his shoulders. She was now seeing them for the first time though she knew them like she knew herself. How could she have not seen before? He now standing inches from her. She exhausted from just standing. The strength it took not to run left her weak. Collapsing would be so decadent.
She knew with her whole being he’d catch her.
That kind of certainty is rare.
