Avoiding the Storm

The chasing storm behind Forever trying to sieze me Trying to swamp me Devour me My fragile mind it's portal When strong I can escape the tempest When weak, lethargy sets in Easily caught I become engulfed by its mass Demanding merciless mass So I run Constantly running With recognition of being forever only paces beyond Chasing, racing, enticing me In darkest hours I purposefully slow Encouraging the hurricane Come sweep me away Forever Have me, I can run no more Escape always comes Out I step, again Into the semi light Though always concious of it's presence I keep on running I will forever run
