Whiplash Love

Fly away, fly free once more
Grab hold and never ever let go
again
Breathe
Relax
Repent or lament
Insiduous meddling monsters must leave this sanctuary of mine

They came quietly, without trumpeting fanfare. Another restless night’s worth of non-sleep. She has more of them now than even before when all seemed lost. Her days are filled with a hopeless dread of what lies ahead and she knows that only one thing could possibly save them all.

Flying a course set by aviators unknown is feeding the thoughts of monsters at your heel, never backing down from the simmering rage.

Subside, you think.
Hide! Better yet
grab what you need to survive and run your ass off.
Run as fast and as far as you can.

Until the air flows light and free. Run until you find remembered stability on the wings of your own dreams. Just get away from the madness; hurting from wrongs, perceived soul smarting and you know it’s just the way things are but it scares you to feel yourself sliding back into that hole. Just run!

Fly, fly - ye gods - just let me fly once more!
