walking barefoot

scorched pavement
sweat pouring
we decided to keep running
chasing butterflies
searching for the most beautiful one
in the perfect moment,
the holy moment

I threw a glance in its direction
simply breathtaking,

my soul united with eternity
as light as air, floating on air
catching glimpses of a better world

we decided to rest our  weary heads
to absorb the here and now
contemplating eternity
and it was a beacon of hope
