Runaway Time
Day after day, Night after night - Every day, never away, The depression lingers on. Chill fingers round my neck Tell me, reassuringly, It’s normal. It’s your choice to be depressed. You feel familiar and happy, thus dressed - And comfortable besides… What lies! These people don’t know, A whore from a ‘ho. But they very familiar with cash, Credit or checks to go. For them to tell you They don’t know, Because you know the answer best: It’s your choice - and all the bullsh*t rest. So face it, you’re alone, Feeling like hell, Cast in stone. Well, there is some consolation. At least the therapists earn a living; So let us stay forgiving. And let us stay depressed, While they on deck chairs in Cancun lie And get their well-earned rest. It can‘t be easy, Eight hours a day, To keep repeating that, It’s your choice to be depressed ------------------------------------------- Hey! Put yourself into runaway time, Stop the dishes, get the wine. Let go the plates - Stare wide eyed At the opening gates Of heaven. Golden fire falls from above Angels envelope you, In heavenly love, In runaway time. See the warm walls in pastel shaded yellow In the light of the morning sun! Lean on them and look at the sky, Dazzling blue - With pure white beams, Spreading themselves Through your light cotton seams. Holding and warming you, And telling you truly You’re covered in grace By love in His Holy Face. Put yourself into runaway time. Move, swim through the deep blue sea; Let me lead you - Look at the coral, The emerald greens, The blues, the pearls, The aquamarines. You are in runaway time. And you who critique, Thinking this escapist cant. Go ahead, Waste yourself in ignorant rant. For my thoughts have moved From my temporal lobe, To the cerebellum, And become - A reality, stronger than all Your education, In Psychology 101 As for me, I am free! I have won… Not by choice, But by design - 
Of a Universe - Benign. ---------------------------------------------------------- Copyright © 2009 by Jonathan Sion. All rights reserved.
