Running can be
Quite the thing to do
Unless you are running
To get away from you
You can run in the cities
Or run in the countryside
But yourself is one person
From whom you can not hide
Whether running very fast
Or dragging real slow
You will find yourself
Will always show
Letting you realize
You do not need to pretend
Then you and yourself
Will be like a best friend

Thirsty Souls

Mankind seek water
In order to live
But there is a water
Humans can not give
It can not be contained
In a cup or a bowl
Yet it is necessary
For every living soul
Quenching a thirst
Recognized on this earth
As the only means
To receive a new birth
After this tired old body
Is lowered into a grave
Some souls live on forever
Because He gave
Are You Listening

There is a silence
Born without choice
Drums beat rapidly
Amid many a voice
Echoing the sounds
Of being young
Moments of wonderment
When words were sung
Between here and there
Springs a surprise
Slipping into grey matter
Knowledge to the wise
Now being very thrifty
As understanding is fine
Acknowledging past fears
Passing along with time
Night Crawlers

Tossing and turning
Counting the sheep
Eyes wide open
While others sleep
Over and over it happens
Night after sleepless night
Still fighting insomnia
At dawn`s early light
Crawling out of bed
To stumble through the day
Knowing when darkness returns
It will be the same old way
Exhausted by lack of sleep
Trying every which way
To get a bit of sleep at night
Before the break of day

Forever And A Day

Always hidden behind
Endless idle chatter
Knowing to most others
Some things just don`t matter
Roaming here and there
In so many stages
Needing to expound truth
Changing through the ages
Keeping an open mind
To those who will stay
Listening very closely
To what all have to say
Knowing that to many
One must always pretend
Except when one has a blessing
Faithful dependable friend
Echoes In The Darkness

Plunging rollercoasters
Twisting upside down
Exchanging every smile
Into an unhappy frown
Trying to act normal
With an ability to talk
Behind locked lips
While a body will not walk
Needing nourishment for life
Empty as it can be
Recessed in tight confines
Struggling to be free
Away from noisy demands
Necessary just to survive
Battles within minds
Fighting to stay alive

Dot that eye
Cross any tea
Stay in line
Beyond the see
Lapsed and still
Frozen back there
Teeth to dentures
Changes with hair
Seen in photos
Kept in book
Now and then
Some will look
At the images
Of a face
Outside the line
Without a trace
