Running Away

“Run away with me,” said the Wind.

So I held out my hand and he blew all hope from me.

“Run away with me,” said the Sun.

So I turned my face towards him and he burned my youth away.

“Run away with me,” said the Moon.

So I danced in his light and he bathed me in melancholy.

“Run away with us,” said the Stars.

So I opened my heart to them and they left me behind.

“Run away with me,” I said.

So I trusted who I was and I found my way home.
