Red Queens Game

Reaching with fingers of fire
I played the red queens game
Forever running, never stopping
Breathless heartbeat humming
Race set before me in whispers of darkness

Go faster

to mean
to be
to have

Never ending winding path

Yet here I remain
Forever rushing never moving
Two forces of gravity pulling
One rushing and shouting
One slowly affirming eternal worth

You are
You mean
You have

The gate is open
The fields of freedom calling

Yet whispers of shout
Shadows of doubt
Is this a field or
Just another rushing path
