The Race
May 21, 2008
Her bare feet pound the rough forest floor
She spots the lantern and sprints,
Her chest ready to explode
The sound of hounds in the distance
Brings chills to her already frozen body,
Her tattered dress provides no warmth
Faster and faster,
Dodging tree branches,
Afraid that her master might catch up with her.
Into the yard,
Up the porch and pounding on the door
Hoping that this is the right home
Or could it be a trap?
The door opens,
A kind face quickly ushers her in,
She is hid away and can finally breathe a sigh of relief
Her race is finished for tonight.
