The Chase

be it a dream
a nightmare
a field mouse
the moon
run
	jump
		fly

the chase means alive
do or die

	the chase one day ends
	tranquility transcends
	
		the chase is a marathon
		no one ever wins

Dreams are a funny way for your inner self to come out. Knowing what it mean is another... :)

"do or die" .. "tranquility transcends" "no one ever wins"! Profound and provoking are your thoughts Arthur.. A consuming journey of Do, a thriving journey of Be.. in between the quest for Truth and the yearning to unveil the universe mysteries.. A great joy to read your work of art and thoughts.. My deepest regards. stay blessed always.

"no one ever wins" I suppose I see things differently. Perhaps your poem has many meanings- yet one that ties everything together. Your thoughts truly hold depth. ~ Brandy
