The Mace

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

Thursday, May 28, 2009

Rat race, rat race
running blindly through the mace
Rat race, rat race
gone without a trace
Empty, vacant, stare,
lost, belittled, benevolent, care

Whatever you say
Whatever game you play

Mind erased in racing
mad, blind
endless pacing
Have one, have two, have three
Wind up, wind up tight
then come to me....

The maze of life can be frightening. I learned long ago that life is short, and living it to the max means being independent of all who would drag you down.

You are too nice, Elisabeth. Like a harbor in the storm... ...that's what I get from your verses here. Love and best wishes,
