The Opposite of Escape

The work clock ticks
As the hammers fall
Sweat drips down
As hours pass by

Working
Waiting

Earning wages
Worshiping God
A smile filled with joy
A handshake of a friend 

Enjoying
Hoping

The gold catches your eye
The treasure no one knew
The peace deep within
Under people's thoughts

Believing
Loving

A gracious masterful stroke
Vibrant colors run about
Where the earthly mind stops
And heaven's gates open

Trusting 
Knowing

An embrace of a lover
The smile of a child
A day of a thousand moments
That move you to tears

Resting
Experiencing
