outrun...

i have outrun my spirit.
i am so far ahead
i cannot hear it.
i cannot feel it or even know it.

i am a running mass of flesh.
no feelings of calm
or time to refresh.
i cannot stop this wheel from spinning.

i do know the day or hour.
but come Lord
for this world is sour.
i want to go, my fuse is lit.

i am outrunning my soul
and it is leaving
my life's a little drowl.
this crazy life i should be winning.

I know how you feel. Sometimes life is like a baggie full of sour gummy candy--the kind all covered in that extremely bitter, powdery substance that burns the tongue. Once the bitterness wears off, and you get to the soft, sweet jube-jube part, it really just gets stuck in your teeth.

In Zen they say that enlightenment is like trying to climb a glass mountain covered in vaseline...exhuasting!
