Running Away From Home
Maybe belonging
Isn't about
Finding something
Maybe sometimes
It's about
Being found.

running away
we ran away
each riding on our tricycle....
switched all the way home
privet hedge limbs
have so many uses....
red streaks on my legs
the ride back home
took so much longer....
crying and pedaling

Running away from Home
when I think of running away from home
what do I want to take?
a little food would be good
peanut butter and crackers for sure
I put them into my backpack
do I need my jewelry? Not really.
Two t-shirts, a pair of shorts, some long pants
Maybe one nightie
Tennis shoes and socks, but no dress shoes
two credit cards, and three

INSANE POETRY RUNNING AWAY Part 02
Oh Syrinx, by the lake where you await, blossom anew!
Proud of murmurs that speak of goddesses, in a reverent hue.
Unleash the waists of shadows, in my tales they live and breathe,
As I imbibe the brightness of the grape, dispelling sorrow.
Laughing, I raise the emptied glass beneath the summer sky,
Breathing into luminous skins, yearning until evening

INSANE POETRY RUNNING AWAY Part 01
Gathered among lovely nymphs, whose grace shines brightly like eternal stars
Their vibrant essence lingers, embracing radiantly,
In the dream-laden air, does my love pursue only a fleeting vision?
My uncertainty, an ancient veil of darkness, now reaches its peak.
In the quiet branches that linger faithfully, in enduring woods,
Alas, I too have presented myself as a false and

Running Away From Home
I am running away the four-year-old told his parents.
Take some clothes, his father urged him.
Better take your piggy bank, said his sister.
Would you like a sandwich? Asked his mother.
He said he did not need any of that stuff.
He was only taking one thing, his puppy, Ralph.
Ralph happily followed him to the gate.
Where they sat for

Running Away
When I was a kid, I wanted to run away.
As if running away, would be fun.
Like running through clouds,
And the clouds are happy.
My mom scolded me,
But it was all fun, and make believe.
I just turned 17.
I just got my license.
And the car is glaring in the sun.
Singing songs on that radio.
That were sad.
Driving

Running Away
the mornings light
before me lies
dawn does break
in eastern sky
and I know not
what in the day
what I shall do
stay or go away
a distant path
does call to me
to places that
I might be
and do the things
that I do not know
and learn the things
that I might know
and yet the fear
of what might be
what I might find
and I might be
but

Running Away
I’m running away
to unearth consolation.
My knees - my bindle,
carried to the ground.
To unearth consolation,
I’ve traveled so far, so near.
Carried to the ground -
all my trepidation and loss.
I’ve traveled, so far, so near
to the presence of Christ.
All my trepidation and loss
laid down at the foot of the cross.
To the presence of Christ -
my knees.

They couldn’t make her stay
Further and further into the woods
Why didn’t she stop like she should
Time went by fast
She stopped at last
She was scared
She was in the middle of no where
She realized that day
Never run away from fear

Running Away
Did you ever feel like running away
From the place you stay
Having a rest
To be at your best
Put on a new identity
From which to choose there is plenty
You could hide behind this
That thought lets not dismiss
Where to go
Its hard to know
What to choose
Ideas a plenty
Suggestion box is certainly not empty
Create new memories
Try new

To Let Go
How hard is the letting go when it’s all you know
Shadows under ice

Cracks become fissures to fall through
Shadow black eyes

Indecisive Running Away Man I Am
Indecisive Running Away Man I Am!
Always running away to and from
anything and everything
anyone and everyone in which I
indecisively not knowing what to do or even where ever to go in order
to find solace and acceptance by others and especially myself
adapting to but still struggling with having only solace in solitude for now
never actually solving
