High Speed

High Speed

I never thought about it.
Not even a bit
It was just the time
When I felt there was no time

I felt the rush of air
With no moment to spare
Felt the smell of rose
With no time to sit with it and pose

I looked at the beach
Still out of my reach
Funny, it was just a mile
Only took me a while

The water dropped from the sky
Felt as if the angels cry
Walked along the busy street
To meet the tension’s treat

It only takes a second
If you’d reckoned
To look around for a bit
Stare and sit for a bit

Looking at the unseen
Listening the unheard
Feeling the untouched
Tasting the new flavours

Stepping a Step Back
From 
High Speed
