From a Distance
I saw you coming from a distance.
But I never dreamed you would reach me in time.
You came on feet that were sure and swift.
I never considered them as anything other than benign.
I did not fear your silent approach.
I did not feel your breath warm against my ear.
And even when you prophesied my doom, I did not dread your creeping feet.
I smiled warmly and tried to assure you that I was immortal.
I told you that you would have to chase me further... that I would see you coming from a distance... and flee just has your snarls pierced my ears.
But yet... here we are, and yes I saw you coming from a distance.
But this fatal chase is over.
B.W. Harold
