Oceanic Pause…
Encapsulated
By stretch of an ocean wave
Embraced by the sea

Escape Pause…
The quiet encapsulated,
Within the rustling leaves.
Silence amid the noise,
Sound in 3D.
Elevated out from the background,
A moment, wrapped in simplicity.
Welcomed into a temporal pause,
Nature grants me entry.

Run No More…
Where are you headed at the speed of light
Leaving all you love behind
Where do you expect to arrive
What is it you think you’ll find
You are running
Can’t sit still
On a path of destruction
Fueled by self will
Pulse heavy and rapid
Mind spinning within
The world around you blurring
As you resist crawling out of your skin
You can’t fathom the pause
Fearing the clock will stop ticking
Unable to think clear
The static in your head is confounding
Trying to outrun the pain
That threatens to fatally overwhelm
Trying to know a freedom
You feel is being withheld
It will not be found in warp
Running away just gets you lost
You cannot escape you
And pain will eventually catch up
It’s easy to flee
It takes courage to stay
You have the needed strength
To do your life afraid
Within the pause
The incessant buzzing slows
Doors open which once were locked
There’s stillness formerly unknown
The kicking and screaming
Gives way to surrender
The pain is survivable
And not as powerful as you remembered
Waste not another irretrievable moment
Attempting to avoid living your journey
You have choices and decisions to make
And it’s time to finally be free
