Gregory Cox Poet Imagism

Life's Speed

Tiny smiles and helpless cries

First one then two sun lit skies

Mirrored reflection no longer me

Until the end they own my day

The wind of time blows life’s page

No longer young but far more sage

Their path is cluttered and haunts my mind

Realization I can’t fix it all

Arrows through heart each time they fall

Once so tiny, so quick so tall

I did not know they are life’s speed

Rushing madly to fulfill their need

We tried so hard yet did we succeed?

Well it now is yours, please do your best

Your mother and I now time to rest
