Multiple Lives

Multiple lives lived in the fast lane
Kaleidoscope pieces a new pattern with every turn
Parallel diaries always a New Years resolution
Personality fraying with each new demand
Searching for spare time a lost exercise
But here in my sanctuary no one can find me
Hiding in the corners of my mind
In Life’s secret garden that only I find
The old world, the lost world Time stands still
These buildings, the foreign green foliage
Transported in Time and lost in creation
Breathe life in the landscape, clouds in the sky
Eternally restful, now frozen in Time
Just for a moment my heart slowed its beat
My mind rested in peace, my soul in delight
But in races the real world and once again
In multiple lives and the fast lane I take flight
