Crystol Woods Poet Rhyme

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.

John Gondolf April 23, 2024 at 2:39 AM I enjoyed the read Crystal, nicely done. You look way too young to be thinking of speeding your way through all four seasons of life. John Crystol Woods April 23, 2024 at 11:14 PM Thank you so much John! Awe but are we ever too young to look to that inevitable, known destination? I am noticing how time goes by faster as I age and think it is due to the perspective we gain to understand time itself . 47 years is still young, I'll admit, and pray I'll consider myself young still after another decade. Thanks again for the feedback! Best, Crystol
