    OUR FUTILE QUEST AT LIFE.

    Having been running for so long,i at times feel it's been longer than i know.
    Maybe since i came before,but i am not faint.
    I try to remember the beginning,but i cannot look back;the end too far to see.
    Yet,i run for a reason i do not know.
    I am not alone,i guess,but i see myself only;
    Others i think may think the same.
    I wish to stop,yes;but i dont know how nor when.
    Do i then run by my will?
    I think if i stop,then i have stopped.Everything stops and am no more.
    Oh,perhaps for fear of this i endlessly run,from it,for it,to it,in it.
    And my Savior has come,beside him i seat,in him.
    I look down and now see running,their throng in torn thongs.
    Until they looked up,the are running.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
