the journey is the destination



it doesn't matter how hard we try and run
for cares to lose or happiness to find
employing our cunning just to get undone
avoiding realities that we think unkind

the harder that we try to dodge and run
we are closing in on ourselves painfully
for it is impossible to out-run the sun
that always casts your shadow truthfully

I know we all have done this, or still do... We humans love to ignore stuff we should be adressing or we even run away from them actively. In the end you hit the wall and get confronted in a concrete way. (pun intended)
So, we should not do that, right? I mean, if you look over your shoulder and see a gigantic bull storming at you, will you turn your back to it? You would not. But human affairs are not this clear cut and it is not always obvious what some actions will lead to, i know.These days i like to address stuff when it comes up, not always an easy thing but in the end much more efficient than ignoring it.

hey steemit! - a poetic feature request
no hope for change from within
death comes to us all
burst that bubble baby!
words untamed
crossing the rubicon
if the shoe fits...
true love never dies
if you're not confused
too dangerous to touch
a tale of eleven cities
consumed by consumption
return to innocence
she burns bright
chaos and order
my valentine
a limerick about my birthday
a circle shaped short story (J.A.S.E.)

an experiment with word shape and meaning
excercise with shape and words
coincidence?
fifty - fifty
feelings in motion
my drowning land
nothing from nothing
infinite bandwidth
just a limerick
i've always been me
life is suffering
An anecdotal poetry experiment
When it rains it pours
Dreaming about Steeming
For the love of stones
Mind, body and soul
United dreams
Talk about addiction

Nice @madevi. See you can't get away from poetry, LOL.

I could not even if I tried... Although coding is a bit too logical to combine with poetry, i have managed to write tidbits that I am working on. Thanks!
