Life Escape

I grabbed your hand,
and we ran.
Saying "Run run, as fast as you can."

Playing our little game,
basking in the play fame.
Never even thinking,
to ask each others names.

Sitting on the swings,
hearing life's little things.
Moving back and forth,
while the birds sing.

Then the crickets start to chirp.
And the owl becomes the perp.
This time you grabbed my hand,
and we started singing,
"Run run, as fast as you can."
