Stress Dream

Running through a maze of gray;
always running, never stopping;
always fleeing, never resting.
~
Something chases, fast and fearsome;
always chasing, never stopping;
always hunting, never halting.
~
If I’m running, what is chasing?
If I’m chasing, what is running?
~
Who is hunting?
Who is fleeing?
~
Running through a maze of gray;
always running, always hunting.
~
Rushing through a labyrinth nightmare;
always stalking, always fleeing.
~
When I’m sleeping, always dreaming;
always dreaming, never stopping;
always dreaming, never ceasing.
