Poetic Form 63: Clogyrnac


 Run

And this is why we fall down.

Everyone scrambling for a crown.

Mountains don’t have space

for kings or false grace.

Run your race.

Turn around.


Chart a path for a purpose more

valuable than gold decor.

Feel your lungs burning

with joy and yearning

of earning

your own lore.
