Remember when life was simple
and all we did was enjoy our freedom,
churning our muscles
and begging the wind to give chase.
You were so beautiful in your fury and glory,
matted sweat and thick blood
from centuries of warriors crowding
to give life to your heart.
Too much time away from
dirt and clay beneath your feet
has tamed you.
Forget your civilized self
and let the stars lead you home.
