I Run From the Pain

I run from the pain of despite Creation of ideals align Traffic is not so designed I feel horror, like a dark light All flowing through me at night Those people are part of a sign I run from the pain I fear I don’t know if that’s right If the many become the fine I follow the light known to refine I know few will reach the hype I run from the pain
Russell Sivey Entrant into Nette Onclaud's "RONDINE THE TRAFFIC OF LIFE" contest 7/19/2012

I think many of us "run from the pain", Russell. Odd thing is that it always seems to follow at our heels? Reaching towards the Light feels like the best option, somehow it becomes blocked, sometimes it waits.:( Best wishes within "The Traffic Of Life", hoping your pull ahead feeling a winner! Mikki

A wonderful entry for the rondeau contest, Russell! I do love the flow of this form. Can't wait to write something for it myself. Thank you for all of your kind comments lately. I'm sorry I have not been around more. My time has been limited, but I'm here in spirit! Have a wonderful weekend. BTW, I love the new avatar. What an adorable pooch! Love and Blessings, Rhonda
