Running Is Futile
08/26/2017
I want to run as fast as I can.
Away from sad, from pain. from that which is dark,
like fear and, hate.
As if I ran fast enough or, far enough, they would disappear.
However, the faster or, more I run, the closer and, bigger they become.
It seems they are all that exsist.
Happy, pleasure, beauty, and, love, have all disappeared.
I stop.
If there is nowhere to run to,
RUNNING IS FUTILE!
I turn. I acknowledge sadness, pain,
grief, fear and, hate because, they exsist.
There is no escaping them.
Over time, as I face them,
they become blurry and, smaller.
Gradually, I start seeing over, through and, past them.
I can now see beauty, happy, pleasure and, even love.
Good is jumping up and, down.
Waving it's once invisible hands.
I step through, I step over, and, I step past bad.
I catch hold of goods waving hand.
Where it has always been excited.
Waiting for me.
