The ground melts away,
At the touch of my feet,
And when I stop my steady pace,
My heels touch the edge of the world,
So I pick up my pace,
As i flee from my past,
The memories fade,
Separating from my thoughts,
And when my feet touch the melting ground once again.
The memories blow away with the wind,
Then leave me with thoughts of a brighter future.

The author's comments:
When I was writing this, all I could think of was going for a run. It was raining and the day had been unpleasant and all I can remember is sitting by the window wanting to run because running takes the mind of everything and lets you focus on the most important things. At least, it is this way for me.
