Running Away

When the mundane routine beckons

An uncharacteristic tremor is desired

Yet, I turn my back on the door

All I get from running is tired

 

Making my own path through the fields

Turning to see no one around me

A silhouette approaching from the sun

Against the wind I flee

 

Transfixed at the sight from way up above,

of the benign waves caressing the shore

Unable to take the step that I should

Unable to bear the thought for a second more

 

Shielding my eyes from the piercing truth

Eternally existing in blunt display

I close my eyes, and surrender to ignorance

All I seem to be doing is running away
