Running Through Ice
In the arctic, he starts running
I’m running behind him,
Trying to catch up
Time moves fast
When the world around you is frozen
A frozen world
Makes for a frozen run
Slowly through the glaciers....
Slowly nearing the ice sea....
Slowly facing the light in the distance
It casts warmth on the ice
Melting it
We run through the barren landscape
The bridge in the distance
Our destination
Towards the sun
The bridge is ice
Our minds are ice
Concentration is key
Without it,
We will be running on ice
Forever
Just me and him
The sun grows brighter
The beach in the distance
Is over the ice waterfall
We run slowly to it
And we jump....
Far down below,
We fall
To the river
Far down below
We escape the ice
And reach the sun
As the ocean we stand on
Becomes transparent and pink,
Revealing aquatic life,
And then the sun grows brighter
As the rain begins to fall
On both me and him
We are surrounded by palm trees
We are standing on ice,
A natural aquarium of a sea
Is below our feet
The sunlight lights up the life below
And we are held in,
Both him and I,
By the transparent world around us
We are held in
Both him and I
As a wave splashes on us,
Carrying the life from the ocean,
With its water,
To meet us
Our hair is blowing in the wind,
The open air around us
A massive, empty field of ocean
All around us
That we stand on
The sun in the distance, yet somehow close
And night overtakes the sun
Night overtakes the transparent, natural underwater aquarium
We stand on
Before night comes,
The light of sun helps
Me and him
See our future beneath us
The raindrops fall on the future.
