Distance in the Wind

For every word written

There are two that never crease the page

Thoughts held close to heart

Fighting away the cage

 

The world keeps on spinning

Time a forceful blade

I wish I could freeze it once

Enter the water and wade

 

Everything is running away

Like the water deep below

I’m trying to survive

Sometimes I don’t know

 

I place myself upon the rim

Of a canyon deep and wide

Gazing out into a dream I knew

Tears not even dried

 

My urge is to wander

Further and far away

Lose myself in the wastelands

Yet…I can’t help but stay

 

I know the dream is out there

Walking against the wind

I do not know God’s outcome

But if I leave, I’ve sinned

 

I pray to remain stable

To be a strength for this dream

One that I know was real

While wandering an ole’ dry stream

Beautifully rhymed with a nice flow that makes the reader read more and recite it in his mind. My understanding of the poem had me relate to it. Something we dream of that is in some way far away, yet so close if only we decided to go after it. And in someway it seems like time is moving so fast..but yet, we're just standing there and not able to move at all. I find this poem very touching.
