The Chase

Her head was bowed,

Nose buried

In a sea of pages,

Drinking in a pool

Of information,

Waiting.


Her green eyes were sharp,

Cutting through words

Like glass,

Legs tucked beneath

Her slim frame,

Watching.


She had long brown hair,

Strands in every direction

From wind's fingers,

Posture bent,

Hungry for knowledge,

Chasing.


Her hands gripped the book

Knuckles white,

Body now utterly still,

Scared her thoughts

Would run away,

Caught.
