Why do you hasten so <br />Can you not see our crippling, <br />sorrow and pain? <br />We've but a mere breath of happiness <br />to pace with your haste... <br /> <br />Feel the legs of our spirit given way <br />to our efforts, the eyes of our past <br />blinding our way to the future. <br /> <br />How cruel is your wake <br />engulfing us with your speed <br />Stripping us of the raiment of youth <br />Laid withered and naked, with only <br />the reminiscence of mere morsels of joy. <br /> <br />Mercilessly left with only skeletal fragments <br />of our existence, buried in the dust, <br />piled high by your celerity <br /> <br />Are you God's heartbeat...'Time' - <br />Without pause and, nor destination? <br />Cleverly obscuring our vision of you <br />Left unprepared, en route, with but only - <br /> <br />A scarce 'Backpack' of your 'Time' <br /> for our life's voyage...<br /><br />Louie Levy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/celerity/
