Building speed, people watched me said “that’s not impressive” <br />But realize I was gliding off the ground, overcame life lessons <br />Receive blessings; I can go in 5th gear without distraction from the rear <br />I see world in a clear view without telescopes to analyze through <br />I think what’s on my mind and thoughts just tear through <br />I hear god giving me an earful, just speeding up so I can get near you <br /> <br />Metaphorically I’m a car and I won’t stop till my gears rust <br />To reach success and internal peace is not only a goal it’s a must <br />The car has an engine similar to Jesus spine or a magical vine <br />With gas fueled by tears from God’s eyes, I will reach him in due time <br />I just want the chance to speak with him, his wisdom I yearn <br />Like my dearly departed grandpa, his wisdom I didn’t feel I deserved <br /> <br />My life has always been a dark room with a pitch of light in the rear view <br />It feels like I am close to it, the light grew, but than the light diminished <br />Than I felt finished, until I felt an angel’s teeth glisten like a perfect dentist <br /> <br />The sun I yearn to feel underneath my skin <br />So I can find that kind of love from within <br />Jumping in the water swam like a had fins <br />I never knew a river could commit a sin <br />Small waves try to drown the kid <br />But I built speed and peddled my feet <br />Move on forward and escaped the devils teeth <br /> <br />I inhale the air as I glared at a pearl… so lividly <br />I looked and it had a light that mirrored heaven… so vividly <br />I guess till I am gracefully departed, I’m close to God <br />This could be like a speaker box to reach him, right on my palm <br />I can relax and be calm; this is the only way I can know my grandma<br /><br />Leland Wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/building-speed/
