The Peace of Nowhere

Love.
This word, love?
It cracks me in the face
with every corner I turn
and then it withdraws.
Never does it settle,
but like a ladybug
it drifts dynamically
on and off of my cheek.
A gentle love I seek
the sensation, buzzing and numb
certainty, peace.
It kissed my mind in one place
the imprint lingers
like the ghost of someone close.
Hands reaching out far past fleeting feet
I run
blurred hearts, connected
through my vision as I pass
set my smiles to automatic
they deserve the happiness they hold
ignorantly, blissfully so.
That is what I want too, isn't it?
Mist flows into my path
my legs are heavy and tired
a field of flowers,
and I sleep.
"I am done searching
Stillness is my paradise.
There is nothing out there
for me.."
A figure stands
shadow in the sun
a strong arm
and a weak smile
the heaviness is gone
gravity lifts
and I don't have to run
and I don't have to sleep.
What is this?
You..
You.. are love.
Please do not run.
Please do not sleep.
Glide with me to nowhere.
As you sow, so shall you reap.

A different approach to an age old problem...the search for someone to love us..Sad when it can turn up just around the corner if we only open our eyes and heart..Valentine

Reap the dynamic stillness indeed... Fun and searching metaphors, sensitive reflective, thoughtful, and accountable... You're an interesting creature, author.
Well done, keep it up.

Stillness is not a destination of real sweet or sour it is realy a conjested chamber, everybody working hard to achieving the Heaven but the stillness is so boring, ya it is only a destination of the cycle..... Nice work
