Last night I dreamt
The tracks of the ground
Lying down with the suppressed emotions
In the core of their souls.
I came up with my
Shivery steps and whispered
‘Do you need my run?’
They kissed at my toes
Tears came out from their eyes
I made a smile for them
And set myself for the run
They want.
I ran, across the almost
Suffocated tracks, on and on
And felt a thrilling sensation
Of warm and soft kisses
That throbbed my soul and heart.
The tracks embraced me
And said confidentially-
“Before you, there were only
The cold winds, and now
You in my lap.”
