Blurred Frenzy

the minutes
the hours
the days
in wild frenzy
whistle by

before long
weeks turn
to months
to years

on the racetrack
life in a blur
careens at
headpopping speed
i can barely hang on

yet
every once
in a while
it pauses
for a rare
precious moment

i take a deep breath
and thank god
you’re still here
by my side
