Pedestrian


A poem from 2017

Here's a recital:


You are slowing me down!
I can't walk past you!
You have eyes in the back of your head!
At this rate I'll be dead
Before I get there!

In the day your sun is blinding my eyes
In the night your fire is burning my way

Rest
Rest
Calm down, dear
Pause
Selah

Nobody told me “no!” until now
Or if they did I just ignored them
I'm feeling frustrated
My body is weary and aches
With each passing moment time is lost

Outwardly I'm wasting away
Inwardly renewed every day

Rest
Rest
Calm down, dear
Pause
Selah

You have all eternity
You have so much patience
We just want to run
And do it all ourselves
Building a tower to reach the sky
And I'm wondering why it's not just enough to be happy today

  1. What I found fascinating: at the end this turns fro you to we to I.
