Because Dimitri isn't the only one with Zen wisdom...

Series of drabblish thoughts based on prompts. Inspired by Rose and Dimitri, some AU. If there's one lesson he taught her about, it's Love...

Wrote this one a while ago to help keep strong. Today is a significant day for him, and for me, for different reasons. This reminded me why I must move on. The words in my heart must go somewhere, and here is as good a place as any.

#1- Moving Target

When I must move on, I won't stick around here.
I'll make it as much of a clean break as possible.

I'll leave behind as much as I can, hit the road with nothing by my self-respect, dignity, and clear conscience.
I won't have another's heart to carry around, weighing me down. I won't settle anywhere, or form any new bonds. That way, I won't be tying myself down.

These broken wings of mine will heal, and I'll find strength and inspiration in the skies.

A warrior, a huntress, stalking the world alone, but never lonely. With green-fletched arrows I'll shoot for the moon, and if I miss, I'll land among the stars.

But most of all, I'll keep running. I can't outrun my past, but I can chase my dreams into the future.
I won't stop for anything, or anyone. I'm stronger than you ever thought I could be.

Because it's harder to hit a moving target.
