plodded through the dried; cracked land.
head down, shoulders hunched,
one.. two.. one.. two.. plod plod plod.
mood alike the barren ground.
amidst the brown, smatterings of yellow.
tiny blades with dried out ends.
one. two. one. two.
eyes slightly raised, glimpsing ahead.
brighter now, sun glancing off the water drops.
large green fields and dancing dandelions.
one. two. skip. one. two. skip.
lighter steps, a cheerier heart.
cool gusts of wind, fingers of breeze.
lifts the fringe off my face, lets it stream back.
one-two-one-two
sprinting barefoot across the grassy plains.
faster, faster, pick up speed.
a soaring sensation, like a bird so free.
flap flap flap, i'm flying.
stopping; halting, in front of you.
