Don’t say it can’t be caught
By Aaron Awkerman
I’m running straining my body to go faster
Harder-to the horizon and the next
Around me, on me, in me are purples and reds
The sun is painting a picture-a dream?
I must keep running
PLEASE
Keep running. If you do it’ll never stop
The colors, so rich and creamy
Like strawberry ice cream in the skies
Like the warm blushing of a lover
Like a sunrise reflected on a cherry
That is why you mustn’t tire or give up
NO NO FASTER
The colors are paler fainter and further away now
As if we’re looking through a smoky glass
Please Lord give me wings so that I may fly
No why why is it falling? My beautiful sun
It’s too late
I’ve failed to keep up with the sunset.

this is totally different than i would've imagined. i'd like to see more of your poetry, and i'd emphasize the "please" and "no no faster" in a different way...
