Lost in thought

Blood and salty tears;
Mingling with the weather.
Trickling down your face;

A brilliant night; December.

You run faster and look back,
Running from the shadows there.
Black stone beneath your feet;

Gleaming, fresh, midnight air.

Can’t see the foot before you,
And the black envelops light.
The moon has left the darkness.

Bright stars eluded night.

The cadence of the storm
Sings the rhythm of the patter.
Pounding through your thoughts;

Breaking, falling; shatter.

Faster yet and running still.
Each muscle twinges; shout.
To move is to allow the pain,

Imploring minds, no need to doubt.

Slow down to a crawl now,
And let the shadow come.
Breathing in and out and gasping

Now, where did you run from?


- And so it was that time stood still -

OH...I like this very much!
I enjoyed your choice of words and how you used them,
and the rhythm and flow had me hanging on for the ride.
Very nicely done.
