Run.

Run.

A Poem by James Huston

Oh how bad i want to run and keep running.
But I am trapped in this life of repetition.
Even more trapped in this small house of silence.

My body urges the freedom it deserves.
Even my mind begs for this feeling.
My body aches from this want.

How i wish for this ultimate experience. 
To break free from what is norm.
Branch out across a network of life.

But how can i free myself.
Is this vision even possible.
Is anyone truly free from it all.

You ask a very pertinent question & I am sure that you will not be the last to ask it.
A thoroughly delightful little poem that flows well and is made even bigger because of
the enormity of the compelling question raised.

All Good Things,

The poem brings up a unique message : how can we be free from routine ? is it even possible?
moreover, the poem doesn't leave us any solution , only a crying for help, a desperate act.

The inability to provide a solution creates a void that the reader must fill using his own imagination. for instance, I would break the routine by doing something unfamiliar.

The poem involves not only the body but the mind, giving the sense that the whole human is in crisis, and a solution must be found.

In addition, the reader is being forced to think of the ultimate question: " is anyone truly free? " - ending that enhances the meaning of the poem and leaves us with an open mind about it.

A delight to read!
