a giraffe stands.
pauses.
perks ears.
looks this way.
this is the brink. this is the edge. a moment of stillness, of promise.
the moment where ending and beginning collides.
under a tree, a giraffe finds shade.
sees through mist.
pauses.
finds breath between ribs.
feels earth beneath feet.
is ready.
go.
if at least one foot (or hoof) is off the ground, it's running.
the heart surges towards life.
muscles decide to work as one towards a goal.
a goal of motion, of intent.
purpose.
a leap.
intense life. leaving ground for another time.
time for sweat. time for dripping sweat.
sweet, sweet speed.
go because you can. go because you have to.
magnificent.
