Run, walk Do not hide- <br />Last night and late morning- Shades of oblivion- <br />Trees bow in rhythm with the wind outside <br />Before and after this world was born- <br />Too many years have passed and clouds have turned <br />Chartreuse in hue as if the sun will never rise again- <br />Not for you, never for me- <br />It is only a choice of words- <br />Freedom on the rise and dogged determination- <br />Lost souls convey hopelessness inundating <br />Confusion, apparition and lack of power- <br />Only the morning glories and evergreens- <br />I thought I owned the woodlands- <br />Too many tears wept for yesteryear- <br />Uprooting trees and building tenements of <br />Concrete, brick and stone adorned with <br />Crystalline accents and I never cared- <br />Only the deer and rabbits in the wild- <br />Run, do not hide- <br />The past is sordid and no one knows <br />Tomorrow may be doomsday and I shall <br />Lock every door that may lead to a <br />Different place in time- all that would remain would be <br />Stems and branches fallen- into a puddle of delusiveness- <br />It could harm you if you leave your thoughts inside <br />The creek crawling over rocks- <br />You and I – all that matters- <br />Disdain for humanity has set fire to my <br />Spirit- though on the run- seize it within a net, silver plated- <br />Nothing is real and only for the moment- <br />Music resonates from far away places and I hear <br />Thunder emanating from <br />Pink clouds of misfortune- <br />Walk and never run- the rules have been changed- <br />Your life belongs only to you- <br />Although you cannot stop the rain- <br />Final words have been spoken: <br />Slowly walk and follow your lead- <br />Sing and dance as much as you can, as nothing lasts forever- <br />You cannot turn back time- I hear a voice of the not so distant past- <br />Hold onto your dreams for an eternity- <br />They may be all that you have-<br /><br />Claudia Krizay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aware-5/
