Contradiction

I feel crowded and lost

trapped in this space.

So far to run

yet no time to race

Confussed mind cluttered

with empty fullfillments

Goals far away in the distance

Everything jumps in the way

To reach them, I strech....(sigh)

I can't..... not this day

Crowded yet empty

my mind fights to produce

I try and I try

yet and still no use

There are stories that rhyme

there are 24 hours in a day

yet still not enough time

If only I could encamp in quiet, a moment

to myself.

All other things done (for now)

placing distractions on their shelf

Opportune day, the right moment all mine

dull thoughts replaced

with a bright vivid shine.

In comes my passion,

a dear sweet friend I find.

Clock winding down

Sun setting on this another day

Closer I approach

Quiets sound

Given another opportunity to rectify

Crowded and Empty's
