song like faroff thing

a love song
like a mountain
seen at distance
from the road
lyrics murky in morning mist
rising with the tune
under the beat
of your steps

but you can't see it all
until you run
your first real one
to sing

the song is rising
and it's closer
as you walk there
knowing, now
it's yours
to give

and on that hill
you're looking down
and you can see it's
bigger but it's
meant for you
to understand it

then the road is past
you've run too fast
and
in the distance
looking back
it's oddly small
and slightly stupid
in the way it leans

there's a love song
by your shoulder
if you bother
looking over

but it
tends to hurt
your eyes
the way it gleams
