Anywhere?
Judey's 50 Words Unofficial Challenge Inspired by Dr. Seuss.
Anywhere, anywhere.
If you are with me.
As the sun fell.
Peace.
Anywhere, anywhere. With her.
As I fell.
"Anywhere?"
She said.
"Anywhere," I said. "Anywhere you want. If you are with me. It is peace.
No place I want to be. If you are not there."
"But," she said, "what if there came a day you want to walk?"
"That day will not come," I said.
"I want you to be with me. With no end."
Day to day, she was with me.
Any day, any place, peace was with her.
But the war came.
Blood fell, and so we had to walk.
"Anywhere?"
She said.
"Anywhere," I said. "Anywhere you want. If you are with me."
Day to day.
Walk to walk.
Sun fell.
Day came.
Blood fell.
Peace was with her.
Peace was with me.
Anywhere. Anywhere.
As the sun fell.
Peace was there. Peace was with her.
For her, I had to let her go.
So she was free.
As they caught me.
I was at peace.
As she was at peace.
"Anywhere?" they asked.
"Anywhere," I said. She was anywhere, they were not.
Caught, yes.
I was.
But at peace, yes.
Anywhere, anywhere.
