Traveling

Traveling on this unknown road Each mile past seems oh so slow No reference points to speed it up No common ground to smooth the rough Events unfold where I've never been Time shows teeth like a Cheshire cat grin Eventually I see, turns seem familiar The way ahead becomes much clearer Yes that sign post I've seen it before Time marches faster I recall much more The farther I travel, the more miles behind Changes, expands my perception of time. The day I finished That education chore 20 years past was before I'd been born Naturally,I couldn't comprehend that far shore Each day brings perspective to the measuring of time Two decades to me now seems to fly by Anxiously now I search the road ahead Days speed down hill faster and faster yet Understanding how momentum speeds up and gains I dread the road ahead as autumn is changed From the starting line of My warm Spring Home, To the finish line where Icy winter winds moan.
