When Rabbits Run

Instinctual

Hearts pound at the rising sun

a liken to a loaded gun

Stirring flight of those more cunning

like when the rabbits run

Gathering courage from your mistakes

the goal to flourish is at stake

Repairing the damage that can't be undone

like when the rabbits run

Sensitive to the changing winds

mending the broken to start again

Fractured behavior scares everyone

like when the rabbits run

Fear in your mouth, wolf at the door

becoming something like never before

Huddled in masses, just to remain warm

facing the storm, to find you're standing alone

You'll know who you are when the lesson is done

writing the words of your warrior song

you'll find life was preparing, through every mistake

and like the rabbit, you made your escape
