Facing the Sun

A Poem

Driving into the sun

Am I on the run

Or just welcoming what I’ve become

No longer in my sleep

On to a better world

One filled with nature and joy

The kind of place I dreamed of as a boy

A place where I can walk barefoot on my mother

And be hugged by my father’s breath

I can sit and talk to my brothers and sisters

Free from the bounds of reality
