without rest, without fear

I find I go through life
with either
great patience
or great desperation

I sometimes wait.
content to watch the shadows
stretch and retreat
beneath my window

and sometimes
I am overwhelmed by a great need
to move.
or experience a hunger
like Cronus had for his children.

I do not see the sense of walking
when I can run towards the sun
or stand still
and let the world
come to me.

One thought on “without rest, without fear”

  1. “and sometimes
    I am overwhelmed by a great need
    to move.
    or experience a hunger
    like Cronus had for his children.”

    Yes, this. And… Cronus – like father, like son.
