Displacement


Day-6 OctPoWriMo-2017 (Prompt- While I Was Pacing The Floor )





Trying hard
                    to keep up the pace

Between 
             the  crowded space

Wondering
                  how to escape

From the clutches 
                             of the rat race.


Breathing in the arms of nature

Moments freeze and conjure
   
Those little moments

Juxtaposed in transitions.
    

In the hope 
                  of  finding freedom

In the world
                   of unplaced wisdom

Through the layers 
                                of  fear and beauty

Life seeks
               some peace in humanity.








(I have used an uneven structure for the first and last stanza to highlight the unbalanced environment we live in. The middle stanza accentuates the fact that nature keeps us grounded.)
