Green Walls

Fell asleep, head in your lap, dreaming of my being... ...Running alone, grasses fleeing under my hooves, walls to whirls and leaves like air around me. The branches part and there you are. Have known you for long; smell, movements familiar... different from the others coming after me. Known you from afar, you come closer. Slowly. Never hunted me, only looking for proximity, ever so slowly closing in. Hear your bated breath, see the warmth in your eyes. Spent a life running, slipping away, one step and I with you. Resting. It was just now.
