Overturn The Moon

by Melpomene   May 12, 2008


I once started to run,
then realized I was running in circles.
Pursued by ones own tail;
is an anguish none should know.

Plunging deep within thoughts,
I managed to recede the chase,
though god overturned the moon;
gently shining upon light...
Becoming back to where I began
seen by what I feared most...
I started running in circles,
as it's all I've ever known.

I watched cotton owls flutter,
being careful not the stop.
A symbol of god's wisdom,
Yet the sign of devil's smirk.
I ran until I collapsed,
Laying I tried to breathe,
Was it fire I would envision,
or bright light within the fog.

That day I learned a new trick,
Again I started to run,
yet this time not in circles but;
in the shape of tasteful hearts.

    "I once started to run,
    then realized I was running in circles.
    Pursued by ones own tail;

    Great opening, telling the reader that you once ran, but then you realized it was in circles.

    gently shining upon light...
    Becoming back to where I began
    seen by what I feared most...
    I started running in circles,
    as it's all I've ever known."

    Excellent imgary here, there really isn't much more to say that I haven't already covered....
